My name is Captain Shawn Keulen and I would like to invite you to experience some of the most exciting salmon and trout fishing in North America, right here in Winthrop Harbor, Illinois! Reserve your charter today with Breezy 1 Sportfishing! You’ll be trolling Lake Michigan in no time on my 38ft Sport Fisherman with twin 420hp Cummins engines. We’ll get to the fishing grounds quickly and get lines in the water to start your day of fishing. Downriggers and outriggers are included, and we have a livewell full of bait. With a top notch First Mate, the best Fishfinder and GPS navigation brands, and all the comforts of home, you’ll have a day of successful fishing and lifelong memories! Your family will be comfortable aboard this vessel that has an enclosed and air-conditioned cabin. The salon has plenty of seating and a TV, there's a kitchen with a refrigerator and sink, and the bathroom has toilet and shower. You won’t even be able to tell you’re on the water! This is a great vessel for families and large groups. We can accommodate 4-6 passengers on this vessel; for larger groups we can coordinate with other charters. Breeze 1 Sportfishing packages are customized for groups of four and six passengers. All trips last six hours and we’ll target the fantastic fishery of Lake Michigan. Species we’ll find at the end of the line include Trout, Steelhead, King Salmon and Coho Salmon. When trolling we will drag the bait behind the boat and attract the fish to the lure. The speed of the boat is an important part of this technique, one that the Captain and Crew has perfected. Once we get the fish on the hook you’ll be reeling it in, and we’re happy to help with the fight! Once the fish is in the boat we will dehook and get you ready for the next run. All harvested fish will be cleaned and filleted at the end of the trip at no extra cost. You’ll be able to enjoy a delicious Salmon dinner that very night! Fresh Salmon is really great in sushi, or you can grill, fry, or bake it. There’s nothing like catching your own dinner! Bring your family to fish with Breezy 1 Sportfishing Charters and Captain Shawn. You won’t regret spending the day fishing Lake Michigan, it’s always a blast!

If you are looking for a charter then look no further. It was obvious to us Captain Shawn’s objective was to make sure we enjoyed our time while catching fish. Captain and first mate Jordan were friendly, professional and helpful. They are all around great guys! The boat was beautiful and clean. We caught fish all day until we hit our limit! I highly recommend these guys. I have had numerous charters on Lake Erie, off shores at Hilton Head Island and deep sea from Outer Banks and I can say without a doubt Breezy1 charters are head and shoulders above the rest. They are passionate about their craft and making sure you enjoy catching fish. We can’t wait to book them for another Charter next year!

I’m a FL native who grew up fishing and I have NEVER had a day like we had on the Breezy 1. Shawn and Jordan are members of a family who have been doing this for generations. They put us on the fish in rapid succession. We had our quota in 3½ hours of a 6 hour charter. Just an amazing day at a reasonable price on a beautiful, well kept boat. Not only do I recommend but I will surely be using them again and again.

We had a perfect family fishing trip aboard the Breezy I. Captain Sean put us on the fish and we kept he and Jordan busy with the rods and net. It’s a big, comfortable, boat with a knowledgeable captain. We could not have asked for a better day on the water! I will definitely book another trip with Captain Sean!
