Wolfe Island is the largest of the Thousand Islands.
An all electric replacement, Wolfe Islander IV, has been built. Since it is currently (Jun 14, 2022) docked at Picton Terminals with its sister electric ferry, Amherst Islander II, I document their construction and trip to Canada in the Picton Terminals notes.
Pictured is Wolfe Islander III. It can hold approximately 55 cars and 330 passengers per trip.

| visit1000islands This ferry service is significant because it is year round and it is free. A crossing takes about 20 minutes. |
The service uses a different route in the winter.

| 1 of 10 photos posted by SkEye Stream Wolfe Islander IV performing a dock test fitting on Wolfe Island today. [Mar 16, 2023] [The photos are of the newest ferry. I chose this one because it caught the older ferry in the background.] Janey Anderson shared Its new 2021 - zero emission ferry. Will run between Kingston and Wolfe Island, Ontario. Built in Romania, needed infrastructure built before commissioning her. She should be good to go very soon! |
James Mathias posted six photos with the comment: "First shift on the new boat today."
Helen Cooper shared with the comment: "Captain James Mathias first shift on the brand spanking new wolf Islander ferry linking Kingston to Wolf Island! Thanks for the pics James!"
