Leisure Time Charters
Book a trip with Leisure Time Charters and Captains Mike or Curt will gladly take you out and show you some of the best fisheries on Lake Michigan, all while keeping your comfort and safety first and foremost.
In the charter fishing industry since 1983, we hold a Wisconsin state record for catching the biggest Coho Salmon, one that weighed 26 pounds, 2 ounces! If you are looking for a chance to land a new personal record catching Salmon, heading out with Leisure Time Charters is by far your best bet.
Our boat is a 37’ Sea Ray cruiser, perfectly equipped to take you and up to 5 more anglers to unforgettable fishing adventures. She has twin 370 HP Cummins engines that can develop a speed of 38 mph. Because the vessel is fast and stable, you will be in the best fishing spots in no time.
The boat is very spacious and clean, and on it, you’ll find all the fishing gear you might need. Rods, reel, lures, and tackle are all included in the price, as well as catch cleaning and filleting, you just bring a cooler or a bag to take your catch home.
We specialize in trolling, which means everybody on the boat can fish at the same time. You will be catching Coho and Chinook Salmon, as well as Lake, Rainbow and Brown Trout, all of which are not only fun to catch, but also make a fabulous meal.
Kids, novices, and passionate anglers can all join in on a trip with Leisure Time Charters. Hook your biggest Salmon yet and have the best time discovering the bountiful waters of Lake Michigan!

Great charter fishing experience.
Mike and Kurt at Leisure Time Charters provided exceptional service during our mid day 5hr charter on May 31st. Mike was very proactive in communication with me after our initial booking. He also called us morning of trip and provided us updates on what to expect for the day. Unfortunately the lake was not as calm as we were hoping, but Mike and Kurt were still able to put us over fish. They were extremely organized and efficient in helping our group of 4 land 16 fish in under 5 hours in tougher than usual fishing conditions. Mike and Kurt were very helpful throughout our trip answering all our questions without fail. Our group felt like we were in good hands for the whole charter without any worries as the Pegasus was very capable of handling the conditions for our trip. The layout on deck provided quick access to the fishing action safely and efficiently.

Great guide tough fishing
Tough fishing in the afternoon with only two bites and one small catch. The guide had fish in the scope but they weren’t biting well. Most charters were gone by early afternoon. Overall fun and knowledgeable guide but definitely a bummer not catching much. If you charter, make sure its a morning outing to increase the odds!

My 12-year-old son and I went out with Captain Kurt on the morning of July 4th. The weather was beautiful, the boat first rate, and Captain Kurt was very helpful and informative. After a slow start things started picking up, and we ended up catching our limit, including 3 very nice sized salmon. Captain Kurt filleted the fish for us and it couldn't have been a better outing! I would highly recommend these guys!
