President & CEO's Message

Last month, Bay City Boat Lines' Princess Wenonah returned back to the heart of Bay City from the Middleground Island that it has called home since 2014.

The Princess Wenonah is iconic in our community for a number of reasons: It highlights our ease of access to the waterfront, it provides rich history at no cost to community residents or travelers, and it serves as an entertainment venue for community events and celebrations.

Our team was honored to work alongside community partners, including the City of Bay City and Doubletree by Hilton Bay City Riverfront, in making this move happen. You can read more about this on the Bay City Boat Lines Blog here.

Working together, we will continue to Drive Bay County Forward!

Happy reading,

-Trevor Keyes, EDFP
