RATED THE #1 ACTIVITY IN PORT CLINTON!★★★★★

Fantastic

It was amazing. Staff knew American Sign Language to communicate with the four Deaf of us, including safety procedures, checked to ensure we knew what to do, and asked if we needed anything when we arrived at Put-In-Bay. The rest of the staff were friendly and had incredible hospitality.

Put n Bay trip with folks from Ireland

Great way to get to Put n Bay. It is great that they drop you off right in town. The staff if friendly. Enjoyed the ride. We were able to change our return trip to a later time. I recommend taking the Jet Express.

Jet Express…Why try any other?

The Jet Express….prompt, reliable and most of all enjoyable. We had a smooth ride from Sandusky over to Put in Bay on the catamaran….so sorry time did not permit us to also take a trip with you to Kelly’s Island, but who knows, maybe next time.
