Twenty Four VII Charters
Twenty Four VII Charters
Get aboard Twenty Four VII Charters, and explore fishing out of Winthrop Harbor, Illinois, or out of Kenosha, Wisconsin. Captain Frank Grider has spent half of his life fishing the productive waters of Lake Michigan, so you can be sure that he'll take you to all the best fishing spots.
You'll be fishing on board his large 40' Pacemaker offshore sportfishing boat, 'Twenty Four VII', powered by twin 385 HP Crusader engines. On board you will find a clean bathroom, and with a 15' beam, the boat has a comfortable and spacious cabin with seating for all. The big back deck is never too crowded, and offers plenty of room for up to 6 anglers to get the most out of their fishing experience.
Flexible morning and afternoon trips are available, with departure times depending on the time of year and seasonality of species, and can be adjusted to accommodate your group's needs.
Some of the species you will target include Chinook and Coho Salmon, as well as Rainbow, Lake, and Brown Trout. Capt. Frank will provide you with all the necessary rods, reels, tackle and lures, while you can buy Wisconsin fishing licenses on board for $14 a person.
Every trip will end with the opportunity to take plenty of group and individual photos with your catch. The crew will then clean and bag it for you to take home. Capt. Frank is a younger captain who is highly experienced, and has acquired a lot of knowledge to make your trip as enjoyable and safe as possible.
Let him show you a good time on these waters, and he will keep you coming back to Twenty Four VII Charters time and again!

David Schaufelberger5.0VerifiedNewExcellent time!
Half Day Trip (AM) – Flexible Time on September 25, 2026 • 5 adults • 2 childrenCaptain Frank was excellent. He handled all the details on board. A couple of us did get some minor seasickness. Take bonine ahead of time and take cold waters not coffee! Still excellent trip. We will be booking again with Twenty Four VII charters!
Carlos Conaway5.0VerifiedGood fishing and great people
5 – hour charter on September 1, 2025 • 4 adultsI went out on chatters many years ago with Captain Frank. And I looked for him a two years ago and didn’t find him. And out of the blue Twenty Four XII charter caught my eye so I decided to book with them and low and behold it was Captain Frank and I was so relieved to know that he was still around it felt like finding an old friend or family member that had moved away because Frank is one the nicest and most knowledgeable folks you’ll ever meet. And besides that we’ve been fortunate to always catch fish when we’ve been on his boat. Down to earth great captain and an even better person. Highly recommend Twenty Four XII.
James Diamond5.0VerifiedFun in the Sun
Half Day Trip (PM) – Flexible Time on May 7, 2023 • 6 adults • 3 childrenWe booked a last minute trip with 24 VII Charters, and I’ll definitely be back. Captains Frank and Harley set up everything for us, so we spent our time enjoying the amenities and helping to reel in the coho salmon when they took the bait. We caught 15 fish in about four hours!! Captain Frank has it all figured out. The fishing boat is huge with a comfortable seating area which was perfect for my kids, and the deck is spacious so it’s easy to have 2 or 3 people reeling in fish at the same time. Trust the reviews, this charter is worth every penny.
Lars Romme5.0VerifiedGreat boat great Captain

5 – hour charter - 5:00 AM on June 19, 2024 • 6 adultsFrank obviously knew what he was doing. Very professional and had been doing this his entire life. Got us on fish as soon as we started trolling and it never stopped!! We had 4 on at once at one point. Would definitely do this again but only doing it with Frank from now on!!
David Medlin5.0VerifiedAwesome day on the Lake with Twenty Four VII Charters
Half Day Trip (AM) – Flexible Time on May 19, 2024 • 6 adultsCaption Frank was great at answering all our questions about how to fish on the Lake. The boat was absolutely fantastic with plenty of room for all five of us. On top of all that, we caught our limit in only 2 hours! Great time for everyone.
Sherman Runge5.0VerifiedGreat time !!!!!

Chris Gibala5.0VerifiedHalf day trip with Captain Frank
Half Day Trip (AM) – Flexible Time on June 26, 2023 • 4 adults • 1 childCaptain Frank was fantastic! He is extremely knowledgable and his boat and equipment are all top notch. He was also extremely patient and great with my very excited 9year old son. I will definitely recommend Captain Frank and 24/7 charters to family and friends and will be back again in the future!
Robert ScheuermannRepeat angler5.0VerifiedHalf day trip with Captain Frank
Half Day Trip (PM) – Flexible Time on August 7, 2022 • 6 adultsBooked the half day trip out of Kenosha. From start to finish, we had a fantastic time. Never doubted for a moment that Captain Frank would get us on the fish. And he sure delivered! A great time was had by all. Top quality from the boat, the local knowledge, the patience, the professionalism and the neatly packaged filets we’ll be eating for weeks!! Do not hesitate to book with Twenty Four VII Charters - you will not be disappointed.
Joe Bagnasco5.0VerifiedHalf Day Trip with Captain Frank
Half Day Trip (PM) – Flexible Time on June 10, 2021 • 5 adults • 3 childrenCaptain Frank is true professional. Boat was clean and ready to go at our designated start time. 2 adults and three boys from 8 to 13. First time experience could not have been better. Captain Frank was all about safety and coaching. We learned so much in our four hours together not to mention slaying the Coho! We had our first fish on within 10 minutes of dropping a few lines. We missed a few but Captain Frank was always right there with a bit more coaching / advice and soon we all had one in the boat, then two, pretty soon three , four and before we new it we reached our limit! It was a ton of fun! Captain Frank made life long fans of all us. we already started to make plans for our next trip. Can't wait Thank you again Captain Frank!

Thank you for your business and review.
Caught fish on a beachful day on a very comfortable boat. Captain Frank was constantly changing colors, speeds and depths to make sure we put some fish in the cooler. Very knowledgeable charter captain. highly recommend!
Ed thank you for your business and review I am looking forward to having you and your group out on the big pond again in the future. Captain Frank

Carlos thank you for your business and review. Likewise things like us meeting again are the things in this business that keep me going strong. You have an awesome family and I cant wait till our next fishing charter together. Thank you again for all the kind words see you next time.
Captain Frank contacted me after booking and suggested we fish out of Kenosha because he felt the fishing would be better. We did go to Kenosha and had a great time with my 3 grandsons. We didn’t have the best fishing conditions (90’s, no wind and clear water) but the fish did their part and we came home with 18 fish, just 2 short of the limit. We did have about 8 other hook ups we weren’t able to land too. Others on the lake at the time did not have similar results. He works hard to ensure you are successful and have a good time. He is a good coach and is patient. In short he knows his stuff. Anyone thinking of taking a fishing charter should give Captain Frank Twenty Four VII Charters a try. I don’t believe you will be disappointed.
Thank you for your business and review Ronald
