Charter cost split — Nov 1, 2026 — lakeerie.biz/tools/trip-cost

Split the cost of a charter

Last verified

Enter the price your captain quoted and who's coming. We'll add the tip, licenses and extras and show the total and each angler's share. We don't know what any captain charges; these are your numbers.

Count everyone splitting the cost. 1 to 6 on most boats; up to 50 for a bigger group.

Tip

Tipping is your choice. Enter 0% if you don't plan to tip or the quote already includes it.

Fishing license per angler ($)

Which license? It depends on whose waters you'll fish, not where the boat docks. Which license do I need?

Questions

Does LakeErie.biz know what a charter costs?

No. Captains set their own prices. Port pages show posted rates only when at least five captains listed there post one, labelled with the date.

Do kids need a fishing license?

It depends on whose waters you fish. Ohio: a license from 16. Pennsylvania: from 16. New York: from 16. Michigan: from 17. Ontario has its own rules; see the license tool.

Is the tip included in the captain's price?

Ask the captain. Use 0% in the splitter if it's included or you don't plan to tip.
