Frequently Asked Questions

Please reach us at josh.lantz@att.net if you cannot find an answer to your question.

Like just about every private charter you will find, we operate with an OUPV license, commonly referred to as a six-pack license, which limits the number of passengers we can carry for hire to a maximum of six.

We can safely and comfortably seat six passengers, but fewer passengers means more room for everyone to lounge and enjoy. We specialize in couples charters with two to four passengers.

Zero Fox New Buffalo Charters offers incredible on-the-water experiences tailored to the needs and desires of our guests at affordable prices! 2.5-hour sunset cruises and boat rides start at just $375. Half-day (min. 4 hours) and full-day charters (min. 8 hours) range from $550 to $1,050.

A $150 deposit is required at booking and will be applied to the full cost of your charter. If your captain cancels the trip due to weather and the trip cannot be rescheduled, your deposit will be refunded in full.  If you need to reschedule a charter, we will do our best to accommodate, as long as notice is given at least 24 hours in advance.  If you cancel fewer than 24 hours in advance or do not show up for your scheduled charter the deposit will not be refunded.

Yes! ZeroFox is equipped with a private, enclosed head.

No, but we encourage our guests to bring whatever they'd like to eat or drink with them. A large, 60-quart cooler with ice is provided onboard. If conditions and time allow, we can also run to Michigan City or St. Joseph for lunch or dinner.

Sunset cruises are available daily in season, departing at an agreed time between 6:00PM 7:30PM and lasting 2.5 to 3 hours. Once on board, we'll cruise wherever and at whatever speed your party desires, or anchor up and simply soak in the peaceful beauty.

Yes, we offer both half-day and full-day charters on weekends and holidays only, at reasonable prices. These extended outings are the best way to soak in everything that a beautiful day on the lake has to offer. Contact us for more information on pricing and availability.
