Popeye Charters invites you for a day on the waters of Lake Ontario and Fair Haven, New York. They are a professional crew led by Captain Werner Stenger who is a USCG 100 Ton Master Licensed Captain with years of experience fishing Lake Ontario and the surrounding waterways.

Captain Werner can take you out trolling Lake Ontario for Salmon and Trout out of the port of Fair Haven. You will have all the fishing gear available including rods, reels, tackle, and lures, so all you have to bring is lots of positive energy to tackle your fish.

You will fish aboard a 30-foot Tiara express cruiser powered by two 330 HP Crusader engines, with a maximum cruising speed of 40 knots. The boat is fast and will get you to the fishing grounds with efficiency and style. There is a toilet on board for your convenience, a bed.

Popeye Charters can clean and fillet your catch upon return to the dock, so make sure you bring a cooler if you plan on taking the fish home. They will do everything in their power to put you on the fish and to make your day on the water a unique experience. You will talk about this charter for many years to come!
