Blue Dolphin Walleye Tournament Boats ~ Our Trailer Fleet
Ready to go walleye fishing on Lake Erie, but you only have one or two other buddies to fish with? Don’t require the amenities of our ‘big boat’?
Consider requesting a walleye charter trip aboard one of our tournament boats!
On the water, we’ll show you proven tournament tactics, boating techniques, and set-ups that maximize your fishing time. Plus, since these rigs are mobile, launch locations are more flexible – it may be possible to launch your trip close to home.
Contact Captain Gary Zart at 216-849-4954 to inquire about scheduling a Lake Erie charter with one of these two boats.

Charter a Blue Dolphin Tournament Boat
It all depends where the fish are biting, where they’re heading, and the easiest way to get you on board!
Boat launch ramp location is another advantage that you’ll enjoy with Blue Dolphin Walleye Charters. Not looking forward to that long 1-3 hour drive across Ohio from Conneaut to Catawba?
Because Blue Dolphin also runs tournament-equipped, trailered fishing boats, we can launch from multiple Lake Erie boat launch ramps both east and west of Cleveland – in addition to the downtown Cleveland ramps.
Depending on the time that you schedule your walleye charter, we could be launching from the closest port of harbor to your home location!
