Northern Lights Adventures

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.
