- Background
- Meet Captain Ben, a U.S. Coast Guard, certified Master Captain and your dedicated “Experience Director” on the water. For him, boating is more than a profession, it’s a lifelong passion shaped by summers spent in Door County, Wisconsin, exploring Lake Michigan from an early age. His journey began in Sturgeon Bay, where he first took the helm of his grandfather’s boat, sparking a love for the water that has only grown stronger over time. Today, Ben is an experienced captain who has owned and operated his own vessels and now shares that same joy with his wife and two young sons. Through Bayside Voyage, he helps guests create unforgettable moments on the water, with a fleet of three boats ranging from 19’ to 37’ located in Chicago, Milwaukee, and Door County, WI. He believes the best memories are made on the water, and brings decades of Lake Michigan experience to every trip. Captain Ben is committed to providing a safe, welcoming, and exceptional experience for all guests. He happily welcomes dogs onboard, recognizing they are part of the family. In addition to his USCG Master Captain’s license, he is CPR certified and holds a TWIC card. While fun and enjoyment are always a priority, safety remains at the core of every charter.
