Enjoy a big boat experience at a small boat cost with Leisure Time Charters!  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.  They enjoy watching and teaching new fisherfolk as well as helping youngsters.  The smile on the faces is the reward!

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!

Thanks Harley. it was a tough day of fishing but it is great that you saw Capt Curt trying to do what he could to get the fish to bite. While the catching is not guaranteed, us putting in our best effort is!

Hi Jayne, thank you for the nice review. We had a great day on the water, but unfortunately the fish were less than cooperative. It was so enjoyable having nice people on board that I really felt bad that we could not get them a few more fish.
