Oh, it all depends. I took it once a few years back–well, maybe 10 or 12, time does fly when you’re having fun. The ferry was worth doing once.
For us, at least, taking it in the daylight was a lot better than taking it at night would have been. I found the interior of the ferry to be very cramped and unpleasant, and was glad of the opportunity to sit in a deck chair on a warm day and read–and watch Wisconsin disappear in the distance, and at some point later on, to watch Michigan begin to appear on the horizon. It helped that it was a very pretty day.
YM obviously Vs, but I’d say during the day is the way to go.
I’ve taken the Badger across both daytime and night. And they were both special. At night, out in the middle of the lake you do get into the best dark zone you can find east of the Mississippi and south of Maine. If they night sky is clear, the stars are AMAZING. Map – Dark Site Finder
And during the day, seeing the huuuuge dunes appear on the Michigan side is quite gorgeous.

Interesting. I would have thought that the lights of the ferry would’ve interfered with the view of the stars–guess not! Good to know, thanks.
