my husband and I had an amazing time with Captain Mike and his first mate on Class Act Charter! Both were top-notch—super friendly, knowledgeable, and worked incredibly hard to make the experience exciting and educational. This was my first time salmon fishing, and I learned so much. Their determination really paid off—we ended up with 3 huge King Salmon, 2 Steelhead, and 1 Lake Trout! They truly went above and beyond to make sure our trip was successful. I would absolutely recommend Class Act Charter to anyone looking for a great day on the water, and we’ll definitely be booking again!

Had a great time fishing on this trip. Thank you for the kind words. We certainly love meeting the needs of our customers.

We left shore at 4:30 and although early it was totally worth it. We were 16 king salmon deep by 8:30. We maxed out and the action was fantastic. The Captain has a great sense of humor and the first mate is locked in the entire time on the lines and any and all movement. I have been out fishing in similar fashion at minimum 30 times and this is a strong duo plus a very well kept boat. If you want fish and a good time then I suggest you sign up for this boat. It’s a good combination of all things. Plus Manistee is a great little scenic town and bring a little portable grill to enjoy some of your catch at the public and well kept beach with great view.

We sure had fun with your high quality group. How we see you again! Captain Mike
We had a blast! My boys ages 8 and 12 had never caught a salmon before. Captain Mike explained what to do when we got a fish on and these boys landed 6 fish. The location was easy to find. They have a great boat with all the right gear. These guys live up to the name “Class Act”. We’d definitely fish them again. FYI - the last photo is at Chopo’s Northside Bar where they cooked our fish we caught with Captain Mike.

Your family was so much fun! Thank you for the kind words. Looking forward to seeing you again. Captain Mike
We had a great experience with Captain Mike and 1st mate Lou of Class Act Charters. It was a beautiful day. We chose the afternoon trip and even though Captain Mike told us the afternoons had been slow due to warm weather etc., we managed to catch 6 fish. Everyone on board reeled one in. Lou was great coaching us inexperienced fishermen and was especially great with my granddaughter. Watching her bring in the first fish was the highlight for me. Thank you Captain Mike and Loubfor the great memory.

So pleased to hear the kind words. Lots of laughs on this trip :)

We were very pleased with Captain Mike, First mate Lou and all the equipment. Very friendly yet very professional all around. Highly recommend. We were out earlier in the season and didn’t have ideal conditions to get the fish biting but these guys worked their tails off and even stayed out later than planned to get us on the fish. Didn’t catch a ton early on in the bright sun but hit a few at sunset…would have ended up empty handed if it wasn’t for these guys! We will be back in prime season 100%!!!

Thanks for the very kind words. We had fun with your group. Just a great bunch of guys that make life better for those around you. Captain Mike
