HOW IT STARTED
YEARS ON THE WATER. ONE IDEA THAT WOULDN'T GO AWAY.
For Mike and Chase, Chandeleur has been part of life for more than 25 years. Their friendship has carried them through years of fishing the islands together, with plenty of time to talk about what might come next. They also own a hunting camp together.
One conversation kept coming back: owning a Chandy boat of their own. After years of talking about it, they decided to make it real. Chandeleur Island Fishing Company grew from that shared idea.
MORE THAN A FISHING TRIP
A friendship that goes beyond the islands.
