Swilly's Charters
Looking to cast a line in Burlington? Swilly's Charters is here to make it happen! Your guide for the day is Captain Will, which means you'll tap into their sportfishing experience.
Top targets include Smallmouth Bass, Lake Trout, Largemouth Bass, Brown Trout, Atlantic Salmon, Walleye, and more with any luck.
You can expect to do some light tackle fishing, trolling, jigging, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Will welcomes children aboard, so get 'em offline and onto the water! Be sure to ask if child-sized life vests are available, otherwise you should bring your own. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to stay fueled throughout your trip!
You'll be casting lines from a 29' Center console that holds up to 6 passengers. It comes with all the essentials.
You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.
Before coming aboard, it may be required to buy a local fishing license for everyone in your group. This information is usually available online, or you can ask the captain. Some species might be protected or require a tag to keep them, so make sure you know what to expect.
A few items to bring include bottled water, sunglasses, and sunblock (non-spray). There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.
Now, time to hit the water with Swilly's Charters!

The captain was great to work with and kept us on the fish even the fish were being tight lipped one of us caught a 12 pounder and 9 pounder lake trout and we caught several more it was a great trip and if or when we return this is the captain I would use.
Thank you so much for the kind review. I look forward to seeing on the water again. Happy Hunting!
this is my first time to go fishing in boat and it’s really fun the captain is really helpful and friendly got a lots of fishing… if anyone likes to go fishing contact him he is really good person…. we had a lots of fun and enjoyed.. thank you captain..
thank you for the time words and I appreciate it. very nice to meet you guys I will see you again soon. 💪♥️😎

Best captain on the water, you won’t have more fun on any other trip. Guaranteed. Always non stop action, and when the bite slows down, he’ll move you to another hot spot of his. Very good conversation, along with top notch fishing.
thank you.
The capt is Will and he did a great job locating fish.he is very good explaining the how the lake trout survive in lake champlain.no toilet on board but we got to the shore quickly.a great day and I caught a 9 lb and everyone had a good time.definitely strongly recommend Swilly's charters.
Thank you so much for your kind words, I hope to see you all on the water again in the future. Maybe a little later in the season next time 🫡
If you want to catch some nice fish Will is the guy to see. He is one of the best charter captains on Lake Champlain. He knows the lake and the target fish well and consistently puts nice fish in the boat. If you are looking to book a fishing charter in Lake Champlain I would highly recommend him! You won’t be disappointed
Thank you for the kind words!
