I can't find anything posted on this but I'm going to Mackinac Island tomorrow and I can't find anything on knife carrying rules while on the boat. Also I can't find anything about the rules of what I can put in my luggage. Please reply? Can I carry my knife on the Ferry? Can I put a couple in my luggage to there? I'm also wondering about carrying on the island.
 
why wouldn't you? what are the rules in the state of MI? Its been years, but I went to Mac Island and don't remember seeing anything about knives. Pre-9/11, but it isn't like a plane.
 
http://www.mackinacferry.com/security-notice-10/ This site is one of the closest things that gave answers. The links go to the TSA and such, It's rather vague though. I'm kind of wondering if I can wear a knife on the ferry, or do I have to put it in my bag/can I have a fixed blade in my bag just in case? I'd be okay under normal laws.

That site has a "Contact Us" link with an 800-number. Call 'em and ask. Seems to me that might be the best way to get the correct answer to your question.

Best of luck and enjoy your trip! :)
 
Thanks, I don't know if we're riding that ferry so I'd rather not call haha. But the TSA allows knives in your checked bags so I can only assume I'll be alright. Thanks for moving the thread and for your time and replies :D . Keep your knives shaving and your fans raving.
 
In the end it turned out that I was okay carrying on board. No checks or anything. The website was posting false information.
 
Yeah I'm not surprised. I mean they sell knives on the island as souvenirs so I'm sure there are lots of people carrying them back!
