Book your next adventure today and let Getaway Fishing Charters take you to some of the best fishing spots on Lake Michigan! Capt. Dan Scheid was born to a long line of fishermen. He grew up fishing the Great Lakes alongside his father and he’s proud to carry the family tradition down to his son. His charter caters to anglers of all levels, so you can enjoy a fun day on the water and create lasting memories with your family!

Capt. Dan invites you on his 33’ Wellcraft sportfisher, built for extreme offshore conditions and equipped with state-of-the-art amenities and electronics. The boat comes with top-notch navigational instruments, including a GPS, fishfinder, and Radar, as well as downriggers for trolling, a live bait tank for your catch, and a cooler for your food and drinks.

Inside the cabin, you’ll find plenty of space for you and 5 other guests to sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. You’ll also have a private head, shower, bed, and kitchen with a microwave and fridge. The boat is also outfitted with a sound system so you can hook up your favorite tunes while you fish. Capt. Dan invites children of all ages and his boat is equipped with safety equipment and kids’ sized life jackets as well.

Your main targets are Rainbow, Brown, and Lake Trout, as well as Chinook and Coho Salmon. Capt. Dan is an expert in locating King Salmon and putting his customers on the big one. Just take a look at some of the Salmon photos on the listing! After your trip, the crew will offer to clean your catch so you don’t leave the boat empty-handed.

You’ll be provided with top-tier Shimano gear, so all that’s left for you to do is pick up a fishing license before the trip, arrive 15 minutes early, and bring snacks, drinks, warm clothing, and some sunscreen.

Click on the Instant Book button at the top and join Getaway Fishing Charters on Lake Michigan! Come with a positive attitude, leave all your cares behind, and get ready to catch some delicious fish with Capt. Dan!

It was great fishing trip with perfect weather and great service from Getaway Fishing Charters
6 Hour Trip (AM) on July 13, 20255 adults1 child
We went on 6 hours trip early morning, it was great experience for my kids. We were 3 teenagers, one 10 year old and 2 adults. We all really had great time and it was fun trip with Getaway Fishing Charters. I highly recommend them. EARLY 5AM LEAVING FROM DOC IS THE KEY. Dos: Carry mosquito spray, sunscreen, snacks, drinks, light meals, coolers are must. having music playlist is plus. Donts: Dont eat too much (motion sickness), dont wear cloths which are your favorite, as there might be some blood splash from fish if you are taking photos.

6 Hour Trip (AM) on May 24, 20253 adults2 children
This Crew, Jeremy and Brady knew exactly what they were doing! So experienced, .knowledgeable, friendly, enthusiastic, etc. Jeremy and Brady went ABOVE and BEYOND to ensure that everyone had a great time. They made the trip AWESOME! We caught a lot of fish. The 12 year old was in AWE!! The salmon were biting....everyone caught their fill. It was a GREAT time. Would definitely recommend this trip to everyone. Lake Michigan is beautiful, but we were able to enjoy and see things from a different perspective..

Half Day trip with Jeremy and Jason
6 Hour Trip (AM) on August 22, 20233 adults
Our fishing experience was fantastic! The communication before the trip was great, and we had no trouble finding where we were going even in the dark of 6:00 a.m. We were leaving the dock by 6 and had lines in the water within 30-35 minutes. 10 minutes after that we were reeling in some big ones. None of us are experienced fishermen but the guys were patient, friendly and extremely helpful throughout. We caught way more fish than we had expected and will be grilling salmon fillets for the rest of the week! I highly recommend this trip.

Three of my friends and I had high hopes of landing multiple Salmon, Lake Trout, etc…but that didn’t happen on this trip. Captain Brady and his first mate Jeremy were very knowledgeable and professional and tried really hard to locate the fish; changing lures a lot; zig-zagging around the lake just trying to find the fish. Of course the weather was not the best and the lake on the rough side (5 footers at times). All-in-All, we had a good time.
