Captain Information We offer both "Captained" and "No Captain" charters. A captain is always Required. The captain's fee is NOT included at checkout and must be paid directly to the captain. Selecting a "Captained" charter provides an estimated cost of what guests are expected to pay a captain outside the platform. USCG regulations prevent us from including a captain, we've made it simple. After your booking is confirmed, you'll receive a list of 5–10 vetted captains who are experienced with our fleet and Lake Michigan. Guests hire their preferred captain and coordinate directly with them.
