Find and book a fishing charter on Lake Erie
Book the whole boat, or buy a single seat on a trip that’s already going out. Your money goes to the captain, and it stays with us until you sail.
Launching spring 2027 — Lake Erie first. Captains are joining now.
Already booked a charter?
A six-pack costs the same whether three go or six. List the seats you aren’t using and split the cost — your captain confirms the trip is real, we collect from whoever takes a seat, and it comes straight off your bill at the dock.
How it works
Every trip on FishSplit is one a group has already booked and is going on regardless. You’re buying an empty seat, not hoping a trip fills.
A group posts its empty seats
They booked a six-man boat and only filled four. Two seats go up with the date, the port, what they’re fishing for and the house rules.
You ask for a seat
Read the rules first, then request it. The organiser sees your profile and past-trip ratings and says yes or no — you are only charged if they say yes.
Everyone’s cost drops
Your seat money goes to the captain and comes off what the group owes at the dock. The trip was happening anyway; now it costs all of you less.
Your money goes to the captain. Never to a stranger.
Handing cash to someone you met online to join a boat you can’t verify is exactly how people get burned. FishSplit is built so that isn’t possible.
-
The captain confirms the trip
No seat can be sold until the charter operator confirms the booking is real. Their confirmation is the verification — no screenshots to trust.
-
We hold the money until you sail
Your payment sits with FishSplit, not with the group who posted the seat. It reaches the captain after the trip runs.
-
Weather cancels? Full refund
If the captain calls it off, every seat is refunded in full, automatically. The money never left our hands.
Know the boat before you book it
Six hours is a long time with the wrong crowd. Every trip states its rules up front, and the organiser still gets to approve who comes aboard.
Captains: get paid for the seats you sail empty
An empty seat earns nothing. FishSplit fills it on trips you’ve already got on the books — you keep your own bookings, your own customers and your own pricing.
5–8%
Our fee, on found money only. Listings rank on reviews and responsiveness — never on what you pay us. That’s a promise we intend to keep.
