Gold Coast Charter Service, Inc.

I have been fishing out of the scenic port of Frankfort since 1978.  Frankfort is one of the most scenic ports on the Great Lakes and in 2011, the Good Morning America TV show held a poll that designated the Sleeping Bear Dunes Lakeshore, just north of us, as "The Most Beautiful Place In America". Frankfort is a small, friendly town with a variety of shopping and dining options availalable and several 5 star golf courses are within a short driving distance.  The Cabbage Shed (bar and restaurant), one of the most popular destinations in town, is right next door to the marina.

Our boat, The Trophy Cup, was designed for charter fishing and includes all of the tackle, electronics and safety equipment needed for a fun day on the water. We have a private, enclosed toilet area (new elelctric toilet). Our Coast Guard license allows us to carry up to six passengers.
The fishing season in Frankfort starts around mid-May and lasts up until mid-September. During this time, we fish for Salmon, Lake Trout, and Steelhead.

Our fee includes all the necessary rods, reels and terminal tackle you’ll need for a successful trip. We clean and bag your catch and bagged ice is available for purchase at the marina. Bring along a pair of sunglasses as well as some drinks and snacks and the adventure can begin.
Hope to see you this summer!
Best Regards,
Captain Eric

Welcome...I have owned and operated Gold Coast Charter Service, Inc. since 1992. I've been fishing out of the Port of Frankfort since 1978. I have fished many Lake Michigan ports and prefer Frankfort because of the scenery, good fishing and the proximity of good fishing destinations. Our family has owned a small house in Frankfort for more than 30 years and both my sons grew up fishing with me. I enjoy helping customers catch fish and also informing them of the local history as well as information about the freighters that we often see out on the lake. I think our area is the most beautiful part of the state. My boat was designed for charter fishing and is equipped with the fishing and safety electronics we need to catch you fish and keep you safe. To summarize, we offer a knowledgeable captain, beautiful scenery, a large safe boat and great fishing!
