From Manistee, Ludington and Hamlin Lake to Pentwater and Silver Lake, there are inland lakes, rivers and Lake Michigan–all yours to enjoy. Numerous marinas rent a variety of boats, such as pontoons, fishing boats, canoes, kayaks, and jet skis. For the Lake Michigan boater, West Michigan marinas are some of the most beautiful in the state and offer modern facilities. Book your next fishing excursion with a Lake Michigan charter captain to guide you to the best spots for catching a trout, steelhead or salmon in West Michigan. Guides area also available for fishing area rivers including the Pere Marquette River and Manistee River. Fish on! What a way to vacation!
