  Best day and trip ever!

  Half Day Trip – August on August 7, 2026 • 4 adults

  Captain Grant and 1st Mate JC were professional and very courteous to all of us including my 82 year young Dad. Great equipment from the boat to the down riggers. There was no doubt they were there to FISH! And provided a wonderul fishing experience. Another POW POW! Thank you Captain Grant and 1st Mate JC!

  Great Trip for a Family

  Half Day Trip (PM) on July 3, 2024 • 4 adults • 1 child

  I'm always nervous when spending this amount of money and doing something kind of new with the kids. Those nerves were almost gone immediately after I made my reservation as Captain Grant reached out within minutes. We confirmed the plan and made a back up plan in case it wasn't safe to go out when we booked. The trip itself was great. Captain Josh knew how to find the fish and the first mate, Emma, was a pro at getting the lines out. It was a bit choppy and we have a kid and an adult not feel well and they were kind enough to take us back in, drop them off, and then take two of us back out. Emma even made a dramamine run for us during the break. A lot of captains wouldn't do this due to the fuel costs and effort. We didn't have to cut our trip short nor keep two sick people on the boat. We lost a few big fish, but caught five fish in total. The crew seemed disappointed (we added another Captain, Scott), but they don't call it catching. It was a beautiful night and a great time. The boat easily fits 6, but it is definitely a fishing boat. So, if you are looking for a pontoon boat type of seating area, this doesn't quite have it. But, we booked a fishing charter, not a lake cruise, so it worked fine for us. The crew was great with my family, we caught fish, had good conversation, and spent a lovely 6 hours on Lake Michigan. I couldn't have been more pleased and recommend this charter.

  Half Day Trip with Lentner Rip Charters

  Half Day Trip (AM) on June 8, 2024

  My family of 6, including 4 children ages 11, 9, 7, and 6 had the fortune to spend a day with Captain Grant and First Mate Emma and could not have been happier with the experience. A clean, comfortable and well organized boat waited for us at the dock; top notch equipment was used and most importantly, the captain and first mate could not have been better. What could have been a difficult experience given the number of us and ages of the children turned into a wonderfully positive outcome. Their friendly demeanor, patience, and expertise made the day a memory we will never forget. The fact that we caught 15 fish in a half day trip was simply icing on the cake. I would 10/10 recommend this charter to anglers of all ages and experience levels.
