Our Boat

The Reel Em In ...

Our boat has everything needed for your fishing adventure, and additionally, all equipment and tackle is provided. Furthermore, our boat is completely outfitted with all the necessary electronics to monitor both fishing and weather conditions. Moreover, we have an onboard cooler for your day’s catch. However, all you need to bring is proper clothing for the weather (although our cabin is “weatherproof,” still, rain gear is always a good idea), lunch, snacks, beverages, a medium-sized cooler to transport your catch, and finally, don’t forget the camera! Also, remember to bring a positive attitude, because every trip promises excitement.

Capt. Jon Arena fully supports and complies with the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Customs Service “ZERO TOLERANCE” drug policy. Federal Law prohibits ANY quantity of illegal drugs on board. All drugs will be reported to these authorities.

For those of you who haven't experienced our charter, here's what you can expect:

OUR Boat is Comfort

  • Our Boat: A spacious and stable 33′ Trojan International sports fishing yacht—indeed, one of the largest charter boats on Lake Ontario—built for comfort while being capable of navigating varied lake conditions, therefore ensuring a smooth ride, and offering an exceptional fishing experience even in challenging waters.

  • Amenities: The boat includes a heated and air-conditioned cabin, as well as full bath facilities, a master suite, in addition to a full galley with hot water, plush seating, and also a dinette. Furthermore, it’s designed to keep anglers comfortable even during long outings, therefore making every trip enjoyable and relaxing.

Fishing Gear & Tech

  • Equipment Provided: All tackle and fishing gear are included. That means no need to bring your own rods, reels, or bait

  • High-Tech Setup: The boat is outfitted with top-tier electronics for optimal fishing success: dual Lowrance color fish finders, GPS chartplotter units, five Scotty electric downriggers, Ugly Stik rods paired with Shimano & Penn reels, and Raymarine autopilot to maintain precise navigation while fishing

What You’ll Catch & When

  • Target Species: Expect to hook King (Chinook) Salmon, brown trout, lake trout, steelhead/rainbow trout, and coho salmon—Lake Ontario offers a rich and diverse cold-water fishery

  • Spring (April–May): Excellent for salmonids near shore, often in shallower water—5 to 10 lb fish are common, and planer boards are used to spread out lines effectively

  • Summer (June–August): Salmon and trout move offshore, so trolling with downriggers becomes the primary tactic. Salmon in this season often exceed 25 lbs and put up an impressive fight

Expect a Battle!

  • Anglers often find themselves in a fierce face-off with strong, acrobatic fish bounding on and off the surface. Many catches weigh in from 20 to 30 pounds—these are real fighters, not trophy photos—but fish that truly test your strength and technique
