Northern Lights Adventures welcomes you aboard! Sail out of Port Superior Marina into the Apostle Islands with Captain Sean and Savanna. They have been fishing at Lake Superior for many years and have lots of knowledge to share. Join, whether you're just looking for a relaxing day on the water or a new fishing trophy.

Get comfortable aboard a spacious 30' Tiara. This boat accommodates up to 6 guests and offers enough space for all anglers to fish in comfort. She's powered by twin 350 HP Crusader engines and reaches the speed of 30 knots. The boat features a private bathroom, a fully functional kitchen, and a lounge you can rest in.

Embark on one of specially curated Salmon and Trout fishing charters and boat tour adventures. Choose between a half day and a full day trip and how far offshore you want to go. The captain will do his best to maximize your chances for a great catch.

All fishing equipment is included in the price. The crew provides comfortable Onyx brand water-activated life vests (much more comfortable than typical bulky PFDs) and they're additionally equipped with Type I PFDs as required by the USCG. Tiara yachts are made in Holland, MI and their quality and safety are top of their class.

You miss 100% of the shots you don't take - the same goes for fishing! Get out on the water with Northern Lights Adventures and see what makes Lake Superior the greatest of the Great Lakes, and the Apostle Islands the jewels of Lake Superior.

Good family time and great fishing!
Full Day Trip – Offshore on June 16, 20262 adults

Our family had an outstanding experience on this charter fishing trip. From the moment we stepped aboard, the crew was approachable, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating, even arranging to pick us up on Madeline Island. What stood out most was how comfortable they made everyone feel, regardless of fishing experience. None of us are serious sport fishers, but they explained everything clearly, answered every question, and helped us every step of the way. We never felt intimidated or out of place. The atmosphere was family-friendly, inclusive, and encouraging. Safety was clearly their top priority. Within minutes of boarding, both kids were fitted with secure life jackets, and everyone on the boat wore slim-profile flotation gear throughout the trip. It was reassuring to know the crew was CPR-certified and equipped with both first-aid supplies and an AED. They were careful, professional, and genuinely kind. The crew’s knowledge of the lake, fishing conditions, and local environment was impressive. When equipment tangled or something broke, they handled it quickly and calmly without any frustration or drama, keeping the experience fun and stress-free. The lunch was excellent, and booking the full-day trip was absolutely worth it. We were able to travel further out on the lake, enjoy more solitude, and fish in areas where we didn’t see another boat for hours. If you’re considering a charter fishing trip, especially as a family, I can’t recommend this crew highly enough. They made the entire day enjoyable, educational, safe, and memorable.

Great morning fishing and enjoying unusually calm waters on Lake Superior
AM - Half Day Trip – Nearshore on October 8, 20255 adults1 child

My wife and two sons were up from Kentucky visiting friends in Ironwood and we wanted a good Lake Superior fishing experience. Northern Lights with Capt Sean and first mate Josh gave us just that. We got out early on a cold October morning but were instantly rewarded soon after the lines hit the water. We caught several nice Coho Salmon and the waters were smooth and perfect. The day slowly warmed up and we enjoyed chatting with Sean and Josh throughout the trip. The boys both reeled in their very first fish and we all shared in their excitement. A very memorable day on the water!
