Discover the greatness of Lake Michigan with Xtasea IV Charters. Based in Waukegan IL, our goal is to ensure you have a wonderful experience exploring the rich waters of the Great Lakes. Our experienced captains, Ray, Joe, and Micky, have over 50 years of fishing experience on Lake Michigan, guaranteeing you a trip of a lifetime.

Our 37' Silverton convertible is one of the largest and most spacious vessels on the lake. With a large flybridge and an air-conditioned cabin, it offers plenty of space for up to 6 guests. Equipped with a galley, bunk, and full head toilet, you'll have all the amenities you need for a comfortable trip. Entertainment is also provided with a TV and Bluetooth speakers.

When it comes to fishing, the Xtasea IV is fully equipped with downriggers and outriggers, allowing you to troll a wide area of water in search of delicious Salmon and Trout. Slow trolling is a highly effective method in these waters, but you can also opt for drift fishing if you prefer going after Perch.
