The Wolfe Islander IV is a zero emission ferry boat which will serve between Kingston, Ontario and Wolfe Island, thus replacing the MV Wolfe Islander III.[1][2] The MV Wolfe Islander IV was constructed with another ferry, the Amherst Islander II, using the same zero emission technology and which will serve between Amherst Island and Millhaven, Ontario.[2]

The Wolfe Islander IV was built at the Damen Galați shipyard in Romania. It was anticipated to be brought into service in Q2 2022.[3]

As of November 2023, the Wolfe Islander IV is still not in service and there has been no communication as to when it will be in service. There is also no word as to when the dock in the village of Marysville will be open again.
