Discover the untouched beauty of Stannard Rock with Kimar's Charters, where deep Lake Superior waters, historic lighthouse sights, and exciting fishing opportunities await.
Kimar's Charters is a charter operator based in Au Train, Michigan, offering guided fishing and sightseeing trips on Lake Superior.
The operation runs a range of experiences including the 11-hour Stannard Rock expedition to the Big Reef; action-focused Big Reef day trips with professional fillet services; family-friendly 4-hour Shelter Bay outings; and a private 90-minute Sightseeing Sunset Tour around Au Train Island.
Stannard Rock trips focus on deep-water casting and jigging around the Stannard Rock lighthouse for large fish that can reach up to 30 lbs, delivering a Pure Michigan deep-water fishing experience. Big Reef trips concentrate on targeting master-angler Lake Trout, combining scenic Great Lakes waters with on-boat filleting after the catch. Shelter Bay outings provide a shorter, budget-conscious option for families and anglers, with trolling in deeper water, use of the unique "pump rod," and all equipment provided.
The Sightseeing Sunset Tour is a private cruise offering close views of sandstone formations, nesting birds, and eagles, while allowing guests to bring their own snacks and drinks. Kimar's Charters emphasizes convenience and accessibility through supplied gear on selected trips and on-board fillet services when offered. Trip lengths and features are transparent in the listed offerings, and each excursion is presented as a distinct option for anglers seeking deep-water fishing or visitors seeking a relaxing sunset on Lake Superior.
“Every outing is organized with local river knowledge, basic safety instruction, and equipment checks before departure.”
