Boat Facts
Featuring: The Diamond Belle

The Diamond Belle is a magnificent "mini-ship" that boasts a capacity of up to 200 passengers. This vessel has a rich history that spans several decades and includes multiple name changes. The ship was constructed in 1958 and originally served as a Mackinac Island ferry for The Arnold Line Ferry Company, which is the longest-serving ferry boat company in Mackinac Island's history. Back then, The Belle was named the Mackinac Islander, in honor of the island where it spent most of its early days.
Later on, during the 1980s, The Belle was purchased by a charter company in Chicago, where it was referred to as The Sir Richard. After Diamond Jack's River Tours acquired the vessel, we renamed it The Diamond Belle, adding another chapter to its already fascinating history. With every new sailing season, The Diamond Belle's chronicles continue to grow, and we are honored to be a part of its journey.
