Hoffmann's Midwest buying spree continues with cruise company purchase

Just days after announcing it had won an auction to buy a Chicago area dairy, The Hoffmann Family of Cos. says it has bought a cruise company in Michigan.

Naples-based Hoffmann’s new business is the Sip n’ Sail Cruises, a company that offers trips and private charters around Mackinac Island.

According to Sip n’ Sail’s website, it operates two ships — the 81-foot Isle Royale Queen III and the 55-foot Robin E. Its offerings include beer and mimosa cruises as well as weddings and other events.
