Melissa Voigt5.0VerifiedSo Fun! Highly Reccomend!
Half Day Value Trip -4 Hour PM on July 2, 2026 • 4 adultsWe had a great experience fishing with Captain Kurt amd Leisure Time Charters! He was knowledgeable, easygoing, and worked hard to help us find fish throughout the day. He offered helpful tips, answered our questions, and made the trip enjoyable from start to finish. We caught both salmon and trout, and it was especially nice to be able to enjoy our fresh catch for dinner that same night. The boat was clean and well-maintained, and everything was well organized. If you’re looking for a relaxing day on the water with an experienced captain, we’d definitely recommend fishing with Leisure Time Charters!

3/4 Day Trip on August 22, 2025 • 6 adultsLeisure Time with Captain Mike and Greg was an absolute blast. They put us on the fish and kept us there for a few hours. Would definitely recommend booking through them for anyone looking to have a great time on the water with tight lines.
Kristy Crum5.0VerifiedFantastic Experience with Captain Curt!
Half Day 5 Hour AM Trip on June 16, 2024 • 4 adults • 2 childrenBooked this fishing trip as a Father's Day gift to my husband. It was a first time for all of our family, including our two daughters (11 and 2) and my husband's 86 year old grandfather. Everyone had a fantastic time and agreed this needs to be an annual event. We will be booking future trips with Leisure Time Charters!
Aaron Tinker4.3VerifiedGreat guide tough fishing
Half Day 5 Hour (PM) on August 3, 2025 • 3 adultsTough 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!
