Nolan’s Top Gun Charters
Nolan’s Top Gun Charters
Nolan’s Top Gun Charters has been providing successful sport fishing excursions from the harbor of Port Washington for 17 years. Some of the finest salmon and trout fishing is available just outside the breakwaters of this picturesque harbor. The Lake Michigan fishing experience can be enjoyed by everyone! It’s a great way to spend a day entertaining business associates, relaxing with friends, or treating your family to something special.
Captain Nolan strives to stand out from the rest and to give you the best fishing outing of your lifetime. He is a full-time Captain, meaning he’s on the water 300 days a year. You will always be in pursuit of the hottest bite and will try to put as many fish in the boat as possible! Captain Nolan will make your trip enjoyable, safe, and successful!
You will be cruising Lake Michigan on a 38’ Bertram Sportfishing boat. This type of boat was made for charter fishing and will keep you comfortable and safe in whatever sea condition Lake Michigan offers! Once aboard, you will first notice the large back deck, over 14 feet wide, capable of trolling 20 fishing rods with ease. There will be plenty of room for your group of up to 6 people to all sit out on the deck cheering each other on reeling in fish! The boat features a spacious cabin big enough to keep everyone out of the elements mother nature would throw at you as well. There’s also an ultra-clean private bathroom with a toilet on board and running water.
When it comes to electronics, the boat is equipped with an AM/FM Radio with Bluetooth, VHF radio, a GPS, fish finder, radar, and autopilot!
Once out fishing, you’ll target the strong and powerful King Salmon, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, and the high-flying Rainbow Trout (Steelhead).
We supply all the tackle, including rods, reels, lures, and anything else needed for the most successful fishing trip possible. Once the trip is over you can get a group photo of your catch and the captain will clean and bag all the fish.

Capt. Grant and Austin were awesome and put us on the fish! They were great with the kids and our group of 6 had a great experience, catching 18 fish, without even taking advantage of the ‘morning bite’! Nolan was great and accommodated our request for a later start with the kids on board. We researched charters out of Port Washington before booking and decided to go with Nolan’s Top Gun due to their success rates and good reviews. We were very pleased and would highly recommend!!
Stephanie thanks for the great review.
First charter trip out on Michigan. Had a blast fishing. Would have limitted out if we landed the fish that spit the hooks. Thanks Capt. Grant and Austin. Will definately go again.
Thanks a lot, Rob! We’re glad you had a blast on your first charter trip on Lake Michigan! Those fish that spit the hooks always seem to be the ones we remember the most 😂. Captain Grant and Austin had a great time fishing with you guys, and we really appreciate you choosing Nolan’s Top Gun Charters. We look forward to having you back aboard and hopefully getting you that limit next time! 🎣
We had an excellent day fishing with Top Gun Charters out of the Port Washington Marina. We will be booking this family trip with them again next year!
Thank you so much, Joseph! We really appreciate the 5-star review and are glad you and your family had such an excellent day on the water with us. It was a pleasure having you aboard, and we’re happy we could put you on some great fishing! We look forward to having you and your family back with us next year. Thanks again for choosing Nolan’s Top Gun Charters! 🎣
We had an incredible trip! These two are professional, kind, knowledgeable, and very personable. We even had a family memeber that felt sick and they were able to accommodate us and cut the trip in half. We still caught fish and grilled it same night-best fish ever!!!!
Thanks Melissa glad you had a good time and got a couple fish for dinner.
Top Gun was the best frishing charter I've ever been on. the three of us had our limit of Coho 3 hrs early. Captain Grant is young in age but not experience. he was personable and had us catching right out of port.
Thanks Mark
