Sea Flea Charters isn't your typical fishing charter. They started out as a professional tournament team that traveled the great lakes. The team was made up of Capt. Brian Butts' sister and father, who had been fishing Salmon since 1967. The Sea Flea instantly became a top boat on the tournament trail with several wins and finishing at the top in most of the tournaments.

You'll be fishing aboard a 39' Tiara boat. This spacious offshore boat accommodates up to six anglers and there's enough room for everybody to fish at the same time. The boat has been restored in 2017 and has 2 350 HP Crusader engines. She features an enclosed cabin with AC, a private bathroom, a kitchen, and she's wheelchair accessible.

Depending on the season, you'll target Coho and Chinook Salmon, Walleye, Yellow Perch, Brown Trout, and Steelhead. You get to keep the catch and the crew will clean it for you free of charge.

The sponsors keep the Sea Flea stocked with the best possible fishing gear, which is included in the price. You only need to bring your snacks and drinks. You can purchase your fishing license from the captain for $10 per person.

This talented crew is not just about great fishermen but just down to earth great people that enjoy entertaining people. The Sea Flea Charters team always strives to be the best and has taken the same approach to their charter service. Join them on your next fishing trip.

Jarrod and Collin get it done!!
Sunset Special 5pm to sunset on August 28, 20252 adults

We went for Kings on the big water. We were the only boat going out as it was projected to be a bit bumpy. We headed north towards Muskegon and trolled off Hoffmaster park. We caught one going out. The waves were building as we decided to turn and troll with the waves. We caught 5 more. Going 6 for 6 including a 23 pound king. The crew handled the wave challenge perfectly and kept the fishing lines in the water in challenging conditions. It was a show of talent, determination and experience that made the trip a huge success!!

Sunset Special 5pm to sunset on August 5, 20265 adults

Captain Matt and Mate Chelsea helped us have a memorable family trip! Super knowledgeable and worked hard to put a group of inexperienced fishermen/women in a position to catch a variety of fish. Highly recommend!

Biggest fish I’ve ever caught!
6 HR 1st Mate Offshore Special on June 30, 20262 adults

Brian and Jimmy took us out and they ran that boat and those rods like a well-oiled machine. It blew my mind how they knew what, where, and when to get us hooked into the biggest fish I’ve ever caught (and I’m an avid fly fisherman). I couldn’t recommend them more highly. I want to take my Pa back for the experience and will certainly be booking with them!!!

Reported catch:
Salmon
Lake Trout
Chinook Salmon

First time and best time
Sunset Special 5pm to sunset on July 9, 20265 adults

Rylee and Lauren were fantastic. We had 3 15 year olds with no experiance. They were great working with them when they had fish on. We hooked 12 fish, and brought in 8 King Salmon. It was an awesome time, and the boys are hooked on fishing. I would highly recommend the boat and crew. We can’t wait to go again next year.

Reported catch:
Salmon

Okay weather, but still a good trip!
6 HR 1st Mate Offshore Special on May 23, 20265 adults

We came back with 9 kings and 1 coho. The little buggers kept biting and swimming by, but just wouldn't commit to the meal! Captain Brian and First Mate Jarod did great. Kept switching out lures to give them options and repostiined us out on the water. This was my 2nd time booking with Sea Flea, and there will definitely be a third!

Reported catch:
Salmon
Coho Salmon
