Aquamax Charters 

Step aboard our 50’ fishing vessel, where first-class service meets sportfishing. 

Set out into pristine waters of Lake Michigan with Captain JT on a vessel outfitted with quality gear, upgraded electronics, and air-conditioned interiors. He maintains a 50-ton Master Captain's license, issued by the US Coast Guard. JT and the team ensure a seamless, guided experience, whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer.

Our commitment to comfort, elegance, and excellence sets us apart in every detail. From sunrise departures to golden hour returns, every moment is tailored for exclusivity. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or escaping the ordinary, we make every trip unforgettable. Discover what it means to fish in style—reserve your charter today. (Call if more than 6 people wish to attend.).

A First Mate will be on board to assist with handling the lines and ensuring your trip runs smoothly. Please note that the mate works for tips only—15% is the customary minimum gratuity.

5:00 am is our normal start time, however, we are able to schedule a later start time than that if you desire.  It is your charter, your way. Prior to departure, all guests are required to obtain a valid local fishing license and Salmon stamp. These can be purchased online, or you may consult the captain for guidance.

We recommend bringing a few essentials for your comfort, including sunglasses, a hat, non-spray sunscreen, and light snacks. Bottled water will be provided on board. Alcohol is permitted in moderation.

At Aquamax Charters, we’re committed to making your Chicago fishing experience seamless and enjoyable. Ready to book your trip?
