Hardwater Charters is now taking reservations for airboat transportation between the Catawba Dock on the mainland and South Bass Island's (Put-in-Bay) Lime Kiln Dock. Please call 419-285-3106 or 419-341-2553.

Put-in-Bay is a summer resort. Seasonal businesses begin opening in April and the majority close for the season by the end of October each year. But islanders still enjoy dining out, a full service grocery, a full service gas station, a hardware store and library during the winter off-season.
