About Star Line Ferry Star Line Ferry was started by Tom Pfeiffelmann, Sam McIntire, and others in the late 1970s. They purchased Argosy Boat Line. The company was then renamed Star Line after the 5 original stockholders making up a 5-pointed star. At that time, they operated slower ferries including the Nicolet, Treasure Islander and Flamingo. In 1979 Star Line bought their first fast ferry, Marquette. Over the next few years, the old LaSalle and Nicolet were replaced with sisters to the Marquette. In 1987 Star Line decided to take it up a notch with Radisson, an 85-foot fast ferry which was modeled after a luxury yacht. In time the LaSalle, Nicolet, and Marquette also added hydro-jets with their trademark rooster tails. In 1990 Star Line added Cadillac and in 1993 added Joliet. These boats were built in the style of the Radisson. In 2005, Marquette was sold to Davis Park Marine of Patchogue, NY. She was replaced by the larger Marquette II. And in 2006, Nicolet was also sold to Davis Park Marine. Qualified Candidates Apply today Thank you for your interest in joining our crew!
