I had done a charter with Brew City a couple of years ago and when my daughter Donna planned to…read morevisit from Ohio with the family this year, she insisted we get Captain Todd to do our charter. We unfortunately had picked the weekend of Milwaukee's big Salmon-O-Rama tournament. Captain Todd still found a way to squeeze us in for a mid-day Friday charter, despite the drain on Captain Todd's time to prepare for the big tourney scheduled the next day. So I am writing this review not just because we had a great time and caught some nice salmon and trout, but because Captain Todd went above and beyond to accommodate us.

I had been thinking about taking my soon to be 16 y/o nephew on a Lake Michigan fishing charter and…read moredid some searching online to find a reputable boat. I have done several charters in the past, out of Port Washington, and Sheboygan but never out of McKinley at Milw's lakefront. I called a few companies but they didn't impress me as much as Capt Todd with Brew City Charters. I sent him the deposit, he confirmed back and was clear and concise about the trip. The morning of the trip, Capt Todd and his son/first mate Colin were right there at the boat at 6am on time, they were rigged and ready to go. They made us feel welcome and were genuinely concerned about making sure we got on some fish, plus they were terrific guys!! Well we didn't have to wait very long, about 1 hour out my nephew hooked up on a lake trout and we ended up with 7 nice keepers. I can honestly tell you if you are looking for a safe, comfortable and fun trip do not hesitate to contact Capt Todd; he'll treat you right!

Our group was with Captain Jason and the other group was in another charter boat. Both Captains were very welcoming and helpful. Our whole group caught a total of 28 to 29 fish. The weather was amazing. The one boat had the fish fillet by the time they were back on shore. Our fish were done when we arrived on shore. Was all done and bagged within 15 mins. looking forward to some salmon and trout tonight! Would use Captain Jason again.

He called a few days before we went out to see if we could start an hour earlier because of the full moon effects. We got to see the sun rise and caught 8 fish.. cohos, rainbows and lake. My niece brought in a 22 pound coho and had a blast. Thanks to Jason and First Mate Ben for understanding that we wanted my niece to have fun rather than the pressure of bringing in a ton of fish. Would definitely recommend them and hopefully will see them next year.

We booked a Saturday at 12pm 90 minute tour and were told to arrive at about 11:30am. They let us board at that time - you need to present your online ticket / print out at the ticket booth and then they give you tickets to the boat. The boat itself has a downstairs area with port side with one women's bathroom and starboard side with one women's and one men's bathroom. You'll learn what port/starboard means during the tour. The bar with alcoholic and nonalcoholic drinks and snacks is on the first level. The second level has an area with a covered space in the back and seats open to the air on the front. Since it was a hotter day, my husband and I chose to sit on the bottom of the boat. We thought the best view there was at the front where you get a nice 180 degree view through the windows. We enjoyed the information on the tour and all the great views!

Kanaloa Tiki provides a captain at no additional fee. The bathroom onboard is small and a few people in our group did use it. Besides the fact that it is such a fun boat with its decorations/theme, the best thing about this boat is seating that is shaded and seating that isn't. It was nice to switch between the two. The boat comes equipped with Bluetooth so you can play your own music. Two hours down the Milwaukee river goes fast! We went all the down to Jones Island and then back to our docking location. There were about 8 of us on the boat and we had plenty of room. We also appreciated the cooler and ice provided by Kanaloa Tiki. You can bring food onboard and there is a nice bar top to put food on. We definitely want to rent this boat again and make it an annual thing!

This was a great experience and well worth the $$.
