Charter Information:

Buckets Charters offers full-day fishing charters from Erie, PA, and can accommodate groups with more than 5 anglers with a custom fishing package. Our boats are outfitted with the latest and greatest technology and the best captains on the great lakes to ensure a memorable trip. We have multiple boats to accommodate large groups. If the group is larger than 21 anglers, we will work with fellow captains in the Erie to make arrangements for additional boats and crew.

Cancellation Policy:

The $100.00 deposit is to reserve your date and time slot. This deposit is non-refundable unless the fishing trip is cancelled by the Captain due to bad weather or other unforeseen problems. This cancellation is made at the dock on the day of the trip, only at the Captain’s discretion. All other cancellations forfeit the $100.00 deposit.
Our booking policy: Customers are to meet at the boat at the agreed time and place on the day of the trip. If the fishing trip is cancelled by the Captain due to bad weather, we will try to re-book your fishing trip for a better day if the customer’s schedule allows, otherwise we will fully refund your $100.00 deposit.
Cancellations by customers with less than a 48-hour phone call notice and no shows at the dock by customers on the day of the fishing trip will be charged to their credit card the full amount of the length charter slot they have reserved. When you reserve a fishing trip, we do not book anyone else for that time slot.
