Breezy 1 Sportfishing
Come and experience the best that Lake Michigan has to offer with Breezy 1 Charters. Head offshore with an experienced crew, and even take the chance to stay in a lakeside lodge, as you get the most out of the diverse fishery on offer in this Great Lake.
A 2nd generation guide, Captain Shawn Keulen has spent his life on the water. From a young age, he learned exactly what makes a special fishing trip, and puts the customer at the heart of his business. Let him show you what riches the lake has to offer.
Discover exciting fishing grounds up to 8 miles offshore aboard a spacious 40' Luhrs offshore sportfishing boat. Powered by twin 500 HP Yanmar engines, you'll speed off after the fish, all the while enjoying the comfortable space. Up to 6 guests are invited to take advantage of the air-conditioned cabin that features a bed, kitchen, fridge, TV, and toilet.
Built with fishing in mind, the downriggers and outriggers will allow you to troll with numerous lines as you seek to entice the bite of some monster fish. Capt. Shawn wants you to be as involved as you'd like, so help set up the lines or sit back and enjoy the stunning surroundings.
Overnight trips will see you stay at the modern and comfortable Illinois Beach Hotel. Overlooking the lake, she's a delightful place for lodging and putting your feet up after a long day's fishing.
You'll need all the rest you can get after spending a day on the water battling it out with some of the Great Lakes' finest. Monster Salmon and Trout will be biting away at your line. Known for trying to wriggle away and even leap out of the water to get off your line, you'd better use all your strength to reel 'em in!
At the end of each trip, the crew will clean and prepare your catch for you to take home, so come prepared to fill your fridge with delicious fish. All you need to do is grab your fishing license, bring some drinks and snacks, and get ready for a memorable experience with Breezy 1 Charters.

Captain Shawn and First mate Mason were absolutely great and professional. The XL boat was perfect for 6 and was extreamly clean and well maintained(we liked that). Shawn put us on the fish and Mason helped the 4 boys land them on the boat. They made the day an unforgettable one. The trip was everything we ask for. Limited out and made two birthday boys extremely happy. We will be back! Thanks Capt Shawn. keep up the great work! We will be passing the information on to anyone who askes about fishing the lake.
Thanks again for the business. It was awesome watching the boys on the deck reeling in all the fish.
We are a multi generational multi racial group and all of us had a wonderful time. The captain and staff made all of us feel comfortable. Can't wait to do this again. It's best for anyone they will do everything possible to make you feel welcome/safe/welcome.
It was a fantastic time watching them reel in all the fish. Enjoy all the fish and you have enough to try multiple ways of cooking them. Thanks again for the business.
Highly recommended, boat is great, Captian and crew amazing. They will put you on fish.
I have ued Breezy1 Charters several times. They are always professional, courteous and offer a great fishing experience. My family enjoy these charters and look forward to them each year. The best of the best!
It was a awesome time watching your grandkids reel in a bunch of fish. See you next time and thanks again.
Took my family on a charter with Shawn for my birthday. Easy instructions and good communication beforehand, and a productive trip. We caught king salmon, coho salmon, rainbow trout and lake trout. They fileted them for us and we took it all home - grilled a couple later that night. Shawn knew what he was doing and was helpful with my younger child too. Great trip!
It was a great day for company weather and fishing. Thanks for the business

My experience on these waters dates back to when I was 7 years old and I began fishing with my father. I began working as a first mate on charter boats when I was 13 years old. With over 30 years of experience in the charter industry and multiple generations, fishing is not only in our blood, it's also our passion.
