The island is serviced by two ferries, MV "Jiimaan" and MV "Pelee Islander" (owned by Pelee Island Transportation Company, a subsidiary of the OSTC). MV "Jiimaan" is the largest passenger ferry along the Lake Erie route to Pelee Island. At in length, "Jiimaan" can transport 400 passengers and 40 vehicles. The leisurely cruise to Pelee Island can range from one-and-a-half to just over two hours depending on departure routes. The ferry service splits the season between Leamington and Kingsville on the Ontario mainland. Leaving from Leamington from early spring until August, the ferry then finishes the season (mid December) in nearby Kingsville. The ferry from Pelee Island to Sandusky, Ohio runs only from late spring until early fall, while "Jiimaan" runs from the Canadian ports of Leamington and/or Kingsville from early spring until early December. "Jiimaan" was built in 1992 at Port Weller Dry Docks in St. Catharines, Ontario. There will be a new ferry servicing the island beginning in 2017. When the ferries are not operating, the only practical way to get to the mainland or to Pelee Island is via airplane. In January 2004, a Cessna 208 Caravan crashed on takeoff from Pelee, killing eight pheasant hunters, the pilot and his girlfriend. The plane crashed into the shallow waters of Lake Erie. It is believed the plane was overloaded and potentially ice-laden according to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada report.
