    Fulltime guide and it shows!

    5 Hour Trip (am) • 5 adults

    Darren was excellent. We had a group of five on two different days between the ages of 17-73. One day the lake was like glass, and the next had 3-4 foot rollers and he performed exceptional both days. He had 15 lines out without issue on the first day and we limited out in 4 hours. He had great equipment and constantly monitored what was working and what wasn’t and swapped out when needed. His boat is clean and had plenty of space. He was pleasant to be around and informative prior to the trip. I highly recommend Pirate Charters!

    Reported catch:
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Coho Salmon
    Chinook Salmon

    Great Trip!

    5 Hour After Hours Trip (PM) • 5 adults

    We had a wonderful PM trip with Captain Darren/ Pirate Charters on 08/08/26! He made sure the lines were always in the water and he was quick to grab the poles when the fish were on. He kept the boat clean while we were catching fish, ensuring that it was safe from slips and falls. The boat was easy to find in the marina. He was fun to talk with and ensured we had all the photos we wanted to remember this great day! Highly recommend Captain Darren and Pirate Charters. Thank you, Captain Darren!

    Well run operation

    5 Hour Trip (am) • 6 adults

    Skipper was on the boat waiting for us when we arrived about 4:35am. We left right on time. He knew what was biting and were to find them. The Baha 30 had a large open working deck and enough benches for the 5 of us. He rigged 10 lines, so we were always fishing at all depths. We hauled in 2 large and 2 extra large lake trout over the 5 hrs trip. The catch made for great photos and great memories! We'll definitely do it again and highly recommend Capt Daren of Pirate Charters.

    It was a great day

    5 Hour Trip (PM) • 4 adults

    We had a great time and caught king salmon, coho salmon, and rainbow trout. We did the 5-10pm night trip and it was the prime time for reeling them in. Captain Darren was friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel safe… and pretty quick on the reels which is great because we had many times there were multiple going off at the same time. We will book again in the future.

    Reported catch:
    Rainbow Trout (Steelhead)
    Coho Salmon
    Chinook Salmon
    Response from Captain

    Fantastic Charter

    5 Hour Trip (am) • 5 adults • 2 children

    This was our first fishing charter experience and it couldn’t have gone better. Captain Darren did a fantastic job the entire time and helped create lasting memories for my family and I. We caught 16 fish during the 5-hour charter. Would highly recommend Pirate Charters to anyone.

    We went out with Pirate Charter Fishing in Port Washington this past Saturday, and it was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The crew was friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about fishing. They took the time to explain everything, set us up with top-notch gear, and made sure everyone was comfortable and having a great time. The boat was clean, well-maintained, and had plenty of room for everyone to relax between catches. And speaking of catches—we reeled in some truly impressive fish! The captain knew exactly where to go, and we left with a cooler full of fresh fillets to take home. Whether you’re a first-timer or an experienced angler, I can’t recommend Pirate Charter Fishing enough. It was the perfect mix of fun, relaxation, and excitement.

What's biting with Pirate Charters in Port Washington

Most of the boats are out of the water by November, and you might even see Lake Michigan icing over. Why not try your luck and fish from the pier for Trout?
