Xtasea IV Charters
Xtasea IV Charters has only one goal – to make sure that you have a wonderful experience in the Great Lakes. Based out of Waukegan IL, you'll have access to the rich waters of Lake Michigan, going after some of the nation's favorite, most delicious freshwater fish.
Captains Ray, Joe, and Micky grew up on the shores of the lake and have known nothing but fishing their whole lives. With over 50 years of experience fishing here, they promise you the pleasure of a lifetime.
With a large flybridge, the 37' Silverton convertible is one of the largest, most spacious vessels on Lake Michigan. The air-conditioned cabin features plenty of space for up to 6 guests, and comes fitted with a galley, bunk, and full head toilet. With a TV and Bluetooth speakers, you're sure to stay entertained as your captain steers you toward the prime fishing grounds.
When it comes to the fishing, the Xtasea IV doesn't skimp either. Fitted with downriggers and outriggers, you'll troll a vast expanse of water, going after the range of delicious Salmon and Trout that call these waters their home. Slow trolling is one of the more effective methods of fishing Lake Michigan, but you can also drift fish if you'd like to go after Perch.
Passionate natives to these shores, your captains want you to get the most out of your trip. Hop aboard an overnight excursion and stay in a local fishing lodge to get the full Illinois fishing experience. Come to the dock refreshed and ready for a day of fishing and you're sure to fill the boat!
Everything you need for a productive day on the water is taken care of. Just make sure to grab your fishing license and feel free to bring any drinks or snacks you may like aboard. The crew will clean and fillet your catch at the end of the trip, so don't fill up too much! Come aboard Xtasea IV Charters and discover the greatness of Lake Michigan.

Friendly, professional, & well equipped.
Thank you Chris for the review. your group was a pleasure to have aboard. Hope to see you aboard in the future. Captain Ray
Captain Ray is the man! We had fish in the boat 15 minutes after leaving the harbor and he kept us on the fish for the entire trip. We caught 3 different species on this trip and not only did we catch a huge quantity of fish, every fish we pulled in was of great quality too! The boat cabin was incredibly comfortable and the back deck was very large. Most importantly Captain Ray and his 1st mate accommodated my father, who has lost a leg and is in a wheelchair. They made it very easy for him to get on and off the boat and he was able to be on deck to fight fish and be a part of all of the action. I cannot thank Captain Ray enough for making this trip possible for my dad and my family! If you want to have a first rate experience on Lake Michigan give Captain Ray a call.
Had a great time bringing my son and his classmates. It was everyone's first lake michigan fishing experience. Captain Ray and Captain Joe made us feel right at home and were amazing hosts and experts in their trade. Will definitely be booking another trip in the future!
This is my first time on a vacation like this. I brought my friends with me and we had an incredible fishing experience!
You'll never stop hearing these words. Fish on! The captian knew how to get on the fish.

Your captain
I and the other two captains that work aboard Xtasea IV Charters grew up together fishing on Lake Michigan. All three of us each have 50 years of experience fishing on Lake Michigan. We decided to all get our credentials so we can share our passion for Lake Michigan with others. We have seen the place evolve over the last 50 years, and we are always keeping up with the very latest techniques and equipment.
