Sailboat charter captain's background

ABOUT THE CAPTAIN

Captain tim.

Captain Tim's love for the water runs deep, beginning back in his teenage years in the quiet lakes and Forest Preserves of DuPage County, Illinois. Alongside his father, he learned to sail small boats such as Sunfishes, Hobie Cats, and sloop-rigged dinghies.

Their boating adventures took a leap when his father bought a larger 25-foot sailboat in the late '70s. It was then that Tim started his journey of sailing on Lake Michigan, spending most weekends with his family enjoying the

waters and the scenery of Chicago.

Fast forward to 2005, when Captain Tim and his wife Julie became the proud owners of "Julianna". With this vessel, they've explored much of Lake Michigan and Huron, taking their children on summer cruises for the last 18 seasons and logging thousands of miles on the water.

In 2012, the Julianna  began participating in the Chicago to Mackinaw race, a tradition Captain Tim plans to continue. Throughout the years, he's ensured the safety of his wife Julie and crew during many challenging passages on the race up the Lake.

In addition to "Julianna", Captain Tim has spent considerable time on other boats on Lake Michigan, serving as a Delivery Captain for several private owners. He's also expanded his sailing experiences to the Southern Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean.

Captain Tim's passion for sailing is unmistakable. We are confident that his enthusiasm will be contagious during your journey on board the sailing vessel  Julianna , creating a memorable and enjoyable experience for you.

"Exceeded my expectations"

"100% a Great Experience. My wife, our daughter and myself chartered a 2 hour sailing experience with Captain Andy and we had a great time. Andy and our crew member were very welcoming right off the bat and adjusted our experience to meet our needs. Our daughter is pretty young (3 months old at the time) so we took it easy, didn't go too fast and just enjoyed the ride. It was apparent from the get go that safety is a priority here and at no point did I feel that was compromised. When we come back to South Haven we will definitely be booking again. Thanks Captain Andy!"

lake michigan sailboat charter

Matt Cronel

"Absolutely beautiful."

"This was my third sunset sail out of South Haven, my first with Captain Andy. It was, by far an incredible experience! We had a visit from a cormorant that sat atop the mast. The sunset was vivid and presented a scene suitable for painting with hues of yellow, blue, purple, and red. Andy and Erv were both knowledgeable and the conversation was friendly, informative, and enjoyable."

"The best crew. Hands down."

"Absolute must-do in South Haven. Captain Andy and Captain Erin were awesome, and it made for a great afternoon on Lake Michigan. Great idea for an anniversary, birthday, or a date night. Will definitely be re-booking an excursion next year on the Margaret Ann when we are back in town!"

"They went above and beyond."

"Our group had a great trip with Captain Andy & Chloe recently. The boat is beautiful and Andy & Chloe couldn’t have been nicer or more professional. It was such a relaxing way to spend an evening with friends - we’ll definitely be back next summer!"

Best Lake Michigan Charter Excursions

Sailing out of Holland, Saugatuck, or Grand Haven, SuFISHient Charters is your best choice for top-notch fishing or simply enjoying the beauty of Lake Michigan.

We take pride in making your charter boating trip memorable and enjoyable. From a seasoned veteran to a first timer, we strive to create a lasting impression on all who fish with us from the port of Holland, Michigan.

Our Charters

Lake michigan fishing, boat adventures, inland fishing, our difference.

We are set apart because SuFISHient Charters is passionate about creating the best experience possible—whether that’s catching a boatload of fish or a relaxing trip on the waters—and creating a friendly environment for your crew. Whether you are vacationing in the Holland area with your family, having a day out with friends, hosting a corporate outing, giving a gift, or just want to go fishing, SuFISHient Charters is the right choice.

Our Customers

Awesome fishing experience, would definitely recommend suFISHient Charters. We enjoyed fresh baked cookies prepared by Jeff’s wife while heading out. Jeff and his first mate Mark set out multiple lines and my husband, my dad and I were reeling in Salmon in no time! While tending the lines and netting our fish, they gave us great advice and three new Salmon recipes to try. Before we knew it, we had caught our limit and were heading back in feeling like pros. Back at the dock, Jeff filleted our fish while Mark tended the boat. Jeff and his first mate Mark were fun and professional. We will definitely use them again the next time we are in Holland. A couple of photos of the ones we reeled in. Thanks again Jeff and Mark for a wonderful fishing trip!
Went fishing for the first time With my wife and teen boys. Jeff was very knowledgeable and patient with our first timer questions. Our family had an amazing experience. Jeff provided exact instructions on what to expect and what to bring and what to leave behind. He was ready at 6 am on a chilly morning with a big smile. He kept chatting with the boys providing hints and tips on the do’s and don’ts. We ended up catching 9 trouts and were very happy with our catch. To sweeten the experience at the end Jeff brought out a caramel peanut rice cake that his wife had graciously baked. Thanks Jeff! If we had to go fishing in Holland MI, it will be with Jeff’s SuFISHicient Charters.
My son and I went out with SuFISHient last week while on vacation. They have a very nice boat with lots of room to fish. We had a great time with the team. The captain is very good with his boat and works hard to get us into the places where the fish are. He knows a lot about fishing in that area and what is biting and what the fish like. We caught a good number of fish and several of them being quite large. We were right on the brink of great Salmon season and managed to catch a few of these fish. I highly recommend this company for fishing on Lake Michigan.
Jeff did an amazing job on our recent fishing charter trip for a bachelor party. He was friendly and joked around with us the entire trip. Have already talked about returning for another trip with Jeff just for fun. 100% recommend!!
