The Main Event began long before our first charter ever left the dock. It all started with my grandfather, a retired CPD sergeant who loved the water so much he bought a boat for his family. He taught me everything I know about boating, and now my wife and I have taken the helm, carrying his passion and legacy forward on Lake Michigan.

Our name, The Main Event, is a nod to his favorite — Frank Sinatra’s legendary television special Sinatra: The Main Event. Just like Ol’ Blue Eyes, we believe every outing should feel iconic, unforgettable, and a little larger than life — and together, we’re making sure every trip lives up to that standard.
