Always An Adventure Charters invites you to experience the stunning waters of Muskegon. Your guide for the day is Captain Justin, which means you'll tap into their local experience.

Capt. Justin is in his 19 year of guiding and it’s not a job for him, it’s his PASSION!

Depending on the season, you might hook into Chinook Salmon, Coho Salmon, and whatever else is biting. For these species, you're likely to troll using heavy tackle.

Families making a day of it will be glad to know that kids are welcome aboard! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks for a boost of energy when needed!

Capt. Justin will bring you aboard a 24' Thunder Jet pilothouse that holds up to 6 passengers. It has downriggers, electronics and all the essentials you will need to give you a great day on the water.

You'll have the help of a First Mate to put you on fish. A 10–20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.

Before coming aboard, you'll need to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group that is 17 years old or older. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain.

A few items to bring include bottled water, sunscreen (non-spray), and sunglasses. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

And that's it! Your fishing trip with Always An Adventure Charters is just a click away.

    Best fishing trip ever

    Half Day Trip (PM) on July 25, 2026 • 4 adults

    Captain Justin and his wife went above and beyond. Their service was incredible and I can’t see my self chartering in the Great Lakes with another crew. They were professional, funny, they even educate you as the trip goes on. Even though he gave us s—t the whole time for being bass fishermen But the best part, when we lost our last two bites, Captain Justin even kept the boat out past hours just to make sure we got one more salmon and we ended getting TWO. Great crew. Great fishing. Great time

    Best Birthday Ever!

    Half day on July 30, 2026 • 4 adults

    We chartered this trip to celebrate my son's 16th birthday. He caught steelhead and a king salmon. We all had a blast and Justin made sure he had a great birthday. We were even given a longer time to make sure we had a good catch! Thank you Justin and Trisa!

    Great First Time for Young Family

    Half Day Trip (PM) on August 14, 2026 • 4 adults • 2 children

    My family and I had a fantistic trip with Captain Justin. We had a slow start for an evening trip but Captain Justin was determined to get us on some fish. By the end of the trip we had enough to put a good dent in the freezer. He was very patient, helpful and accommodating to my boys (7&11). Especially answering all of their curious questions about the boat and fishing. They are already asking to go again. Highly recommend!

This has been a dream and passion of mine since I was a young kid buying my first boat at the age of 12. I'm very blessed to live out my dream.
