Our experience was quite different with this charter. I think Shaun is a very capable Capitan and knows his boat and the lake. Shaun and Jordan both are very experienced. I think they can supplement their expertise with some pleasant and welcoming customer service which was quite absent. The boat is new but it did have massive rocking during the trip to the point that half of our group got very sick. I would imagine a new big modern boat and an experienced captain could stabilize the boat better or if at all not possible cancel and reschedule the trip. We ended up having to come back to the shore and of course we paid for his time and tip.

Thank you for the review. After over 30 years of business I guess your bound to have 1 bad one. Lets reflect on the afternoon we had together. First off waves were 1’-3’ all day which is actually a nice day on Lake Michigan. The entire charter fleet was out as well as lots of pleasure fishing boat. If we were to reschedule for a nicer day, I don’t think you would ever get out. After having conversations with all of your party on the dock and ride out only 1 had been on a fishing boat before and stated he had gotten very sea sick. Another stated she gets very bad motion sickness since having a baby. Before we even had lines set 2 were very sick “that stated they get motion sickness” with one vomiting on me, the helm, inside our air-conditioning intake vent and all over the floor. We polity cleaned it all up and got them paper towels and tried to help them as much as possible. This triggered a 3rd to get sick. There is nothing we can do to make a boat stable besides trolling direction and we gave you the best ride, but honestly 1’-3’ waves is a nice day. After giving advice to the sick couple people “as well as others in the group were doing as well” on were to sit to try and get fresh air they chose to keep sitting on the floor/step area. After a short time of me and deckhand Jordan realizing being on a fishing boat on Lake Michigan was not a situation a few in your group could handle, we suggested going in. You guys then chose to stay a bit longer. I brought it up once again that we should bring them in and the group voted on it since half the group wanted to stay out and was having a nice time and even dirking multiple beers and eating sandwiches. Then while fighting a fish and passing the rod back and forth a very expensive rod was broken by a guest. We then returned to the dock and I only you charged you for the time out not the full rate. I basically took you out for free with no pay to myself plus had to replace the broken rod. We thank you for the tip it was very much apricated, but did not ask for it. We did the best we could with situation the group presented us with while at the same time maintaining the boat and running all the lines trying to catch fish for the group. We apologized many times and as stated lost our pay that afternoon. I take this review as not fair or on us since we did the best we could with the situation we were placed in as well as reading your review history, it seems to be a pattern.

Went out on a Friday afternoon in mid July and the crew did a great job finding the fish - everyone was able to bring in a couple and we missed one or two but overall a great day on the lake - great boat and crew.
Awesome time with you guys..Look forward to next time.
The trip started with a sunny day. Shawn took us out along “the hill” and put all his lines out. Unfortunately, our timing was a little off given the late Spring. The fish just weren’t in the area yet. We ended up bringing in 7 coho and would have caught a few more that got away. Captain Shawn and mate Jordan did their best and I would happily use them again for my next charter. The boat is broad with lots of room and can put a dozen lines out at one time.
Great fishing with you and the lady’s. Wish a bunch more of those would have hung on all the way to the net for you guy’s. Hope to see you in the future.
We had a lot of fun fishing on a Breezy boat
Was a great time having you guys on the boat. Thanks again
