About Your Guide

Art Marquardt

Independent Guide
Captain Art was born and raised in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, where his passion for fishing Lake Michigan started at an early age. Some of his fondest memories are fishing trips with his father, a local boat mechanic, and that love for the water never left him—even after spending time away in Colorado. Now back where he belongs, Art shares that lifelong connection to the lake with every guest who steps aboard.

Alongside him is his wife Krystal, who also holds a captain’s license and often joins as first mate, making it a true family-run operation. Their love for fishing has been passed down through generations, and even their black lab, Saylor, is part of the crew—available to join trips upon request.

You’ll fish aboard a clean, well-maintained 37' Silverton, built for both comfort and performance. With a spacious enclosed cabin, bathroom, galley, and covered flybridge, it's a smooth, welcoming ride for up to six guests.

Captain Art is all about sharing the experience that shaped his life. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just looking to cross Lake Michigan fishing off...

About Your Trip

Get ready for an unforgettable fishing adventure with Captain Art! Whether you're a seasoned angler or new to the sport, Captain Art is dedicated to tailoring your trip to fit your fishing goals. With trips ranging from 5 to 10 hours, you’ll have plenty of time to reel in some of the best catches these waters offer. Depending on the season and weather, you'll be trolling for a variety of species, including Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Lake Trout, and Salmon. Just let Captain Art know what you're after, and he’ll craft the perfect fishing game plan for you!

Depending on the trip and target species, you could be sticking closer to shore, fishing in depths of about 60 feet. or you might venture further offshore into waters as deep as 450 feet. No matter where you go, the excitement of the chase and the thrill of the fight are always on deck.

Your trip will take place aboard Captain Art's spacious 32’ Carver boat, which comfortably accommodates up to 6 anglers. This classic vessel is equipped with all the essentials to ensure a smooth and enjoyable day on the water. There’s a toilet for convenience, an ice box to keep your drinks and catch cool, and all the fishing gear you’ll need is included in the price of your trip. Plus, with a friendly and knowledgeable first mate on board, you'll have all the help you need to land that dream catch. Just remember to bring along a valid fishing license, and the first mate works for tips, so any gratuity is greatly appreciated!

You can also keep any legal catches you reel in—so not only will you have an exciting day of fishing, but you may also leave with some fresh fillets for dinner.

Gear up for a fantastic day on the water with Captain Art—whether you're chasing trout in the shallows or heading offshore for bigger bites, you’re in for an adventure you won’t soon forget!
