Safety Is Non-Negotiable
Every charter begins with a brief safety orientation. Life jackets are available for all passengers, and our captain is trained in emergency procedures. We check weather conditions before every trip and will never put guests at risk.
Professionalism with Personality
Our captain strikes the perfect balance — professional enough to trust with your safety, personable enough to make your trip genuinely fun. Expect good conversation, local stories, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Respect for the River
We're stewards of the Fox River and take environmental responsibility seriously. We practice catch-and-release when appropriate, properly dispose of all waste, and encourage our guests to help protect this beautiful waterway.
A True Local
When you're with Waterway Charter, you're with someone who genuinely loves the Fox River near McHenry. This isn't just a job — it's a passion for sharing the beauty of these waters with others.
