About

The Holland/Saugatuck area has, probably, the best year-round sport fishing of any Lake Michigan port. Because of the rocky reef off the Douglas Point and the eddy currents that these rocks produce, the game fish can be found throughout the year. Weather you're learning how the fish or have been fishing for years, we've got you covered. We'll hunt variety of species, like, Atlantic Salmon, Brown Trout, Chinook, Coho Salmon, Lake Trout, Steelhead, Yellow Perch, and/or Walleye and Sauger.


Catch and Cook Program

Anglers can set out on a charter boat in the morning and enjoy their fresh catch at a restaurant in the afternoon under our new Catch & Cook program. With one of our three partnering restaurants, Spectators, Wally's, and Mermaids, you're able to eat what you caught that day! This program brings together the best of a Michigan day – time on the water, and time at the table with family and friends – while supporting local economies and Michigan businesses.
