Hello everyone!
All Aboard! To South Haven Michigan!
In South Haven you can charter all kinds of boats, today we will take a look at this one boat specifically called, the Elsie J. This boat is a 48 ft. x 13 ft. fishing tug that was built by the Burger Boat Co. in Manitowoc, Wisconsin, The Charter is located behind the Maritime Museum.
The beginning is set in 1945 when Chris Jensen ordered and bought this amazing commercial fishing boat, later his son Chuck Jensen took ownership. The Elsie J has been in this family for Three generations and is currently under Captain's, Robert “Bob” and Kathy Jensen. It is just amazing to see an heirloom of this magnitude and importance stay with a family for so long.
This magnificent boat was originally outfitted for commercial fishing and in 1976 the closing of commercial fishing was implemented. Today the Elsie J is used for Charter Cruises such as; Pirate, Day, Sunset, Private, Bachelorette and Bachelor cruises. Book your Reservations On-line with-in 24 hours or book over the phone by calling 269-470-6100.
The raw power is generated from a Kahlenberg Diesel 75 / 90 HP engine.
Amazingly this boat has survived a lot of turbulent weather. Back in the early 1970’s this boat was stuck in the Ice and never wavered.
The Elsie J is equipped with a primary wheel house and a secondary wheel on the port side, that is connected to the primary wheel house. This is to allow fishermen to guide the boat by looking out of the port side window and gathering up the fishing nets. The original wheel house was moved to where it is now.
