Step aboard our 50' fishing vessel, where first-class service meets sportfishing. 

Set out into pristine waters of Lake Michigan with Captain JT on a vessel outfitted with quality gear, upgraded electronics, and air-conditioned interiors. He maintains a 50-ton Master Captain's license, issued by the US Coast Guard. JT and the team ensure a seamless, guided experience, whether you're a seasoned angler or a first-timer.

Our commitment to comfort, elegance, and excellence sets us apart in every detail. From sunrise departures to golden hour returns, every moment is tailored for exclusivity. Whether you're celebrating a milestone or escaping the ordinary, we make every trip unforgettable. Discover what it means to fish in style—reserve your charter today. (Call if more than 6 people wish to attend.).

A First Mate will be on board to assist with handling the lines and ensuring your trip runs smoothly. Please note that the mate works for tips only—15% is the customary minimum gratuity.

5:00 am is our normal start time, however, we are able to schedule a later start time than that if you desire.  It is your charter, your way. Prior to departure, all guests are required to obtain a valid local fishing license and Salmon stamp. These can be purchased online, or you may consult the captain for guidance.

We recommend bringing a few essentials for your comfort, including sunglasses, a hat, non-spray sunscreen, and light snacks. Bottled water will be provided on board. Alcohol is permitted in moderation.
