Big Kahuna Charters
"Our mission is fishin" is the motto of Big Kahuna Charters. The most popular and oldest fishing guide in East Grand Traverse Bay, they sure know a thing or two about filling the boat with fish, creating lasting memories, and providing an incredible day of fishing out on the water. Their specialty is family outings, corporate events, and of course small group charters, of 2-4 people.
Run by long-time locals, Rachel and Scott Alpers, they employ only the highest-quality and experienced captains. Captain Sunny has over 40 years of experience running charters here. Rest assured that you’ll be in safe hands, with experienced USCG licensed captains and highly trained first mates.
Up to 6 guests are welcome and they encourage you to make yourselves at home in the comfortable cabin that features a bunk, kitchen, and full head toilet (additional boats are available for large group/corporate outings). Bring your own drinks and snacks aboard and settle in for a fun-filled day.
Built with fishing in mind, the boat also features all the amenities needed for a productive day out. Troll the shoreline using downriggers, and quietly cruise along while enjoying the sunrise or a picturesque sunset that Northern Michigan is known for.
And that’s that! Everything you need for a productive day is waiting on board. Big Kahuna Fishing Charters offers fun for the whole family. Just grab your fishing licenses and come aboard to see why East Grand Traverse Bay is considered one of the prime locations for "catching" in the Traverse City area.
