The Happy Ho**er boat is a Duluth fishing charter, chartering Duluth since 1974. It is now captained and owned by Capt. Riley.

The Happy Ho**er is a Lake Superior charter fishing boat based out of Duluth, MN. The first Happy Ho**er launched in 1976 and became known as the first charter boat in Duluth. Since then the original boat has been retired, and the new Happy Ho**er charter boat has continued on. The boat and crew value time well spent with customers out on the water. One of our top priorities is to make sure you ha

ve a great time! The boat is held to high standards, as it is known to be one of the nicest charter boats out of the Duluth Port. We know that well maintained equipment leads to more fish caught, which will lead to a better trip. If you are looking for a fun and memorable charter trip, look no further than here. We would love to be apart of of your trip out on the Great Lake Superior!

A little check in from your Happy Ho**er crew…
We’ve had a great December scratching the itch to be outside. My wife MacKenzie proved I wasn’t lying when I said she outfishes me.😆 Justin and Lucas got ahold of some sweet sturgeon. And they even experienced a little beaver trapping!

We hope you all have had a good holiday season, and have a Happy New Years! Our calendar is up for the 2026 season, and Justin and Lucas are excited to be back as an excellent crew.

And that’s a WRAP❗️ A much overdue post due to the quick transition into school mode for Justin, Lucas, and me.
The Happy Ho**er had another fantastic season on the water. Fishing was a lot of fun this year, with a really steady bite for most of the season. But most of all, it was great to see so many of you again. We had lots of regulars who knew how to make it a blast, and a great deal of first-timers as well. Thanks to everyone who came out! We really appreciate it! Our calendar is open for next year🎣

It’s hard to believe the 2025 season is almost over for Justin, Lucas, and I. It’s been an amazing summer filled with great people and outstanding fishing, and the past few weeks have been no exception. We’ve seen some of the best fishing in the Duluth area this season!

Availability runs only through the end of AUGUST, so if you want to get in on the action, now’s the time to book. We still have dates open! Message us if you want help reserving a date.

Capt. Justin and Lucas have been killing! Yesterday Brant and the guys came out with him and put a beat down on the cohos and lake trout. The crew believed their fried chicken snacks were the luck behind it all!🍗🐔
