Title
Dive and Fishing Charters with the East Lake Charter Company
Description
The EAST LAKE CHARTER COMPANY,INC.
The East Lake Charter Company, Inc. was originally started around 1997 by Capt.Paul Benzler, to provide a charter boat service to local divers to the shipwrecks in the eastern end of Lake Erie and the upper Niagara River. This was a part time operation providing many satisfied customers a wonderful experience aboard the BLUE WAVE II a 31' Chris Craft Commander, which he set up with tank rack seating for 6 divers plus crew.
In 1998 Capt Roger J Pettygrove, helped Capt Paul out a few times when other obligations would not allow him to operate the boat. Then while vacationing in Florida during jan. 1999 Capt paul found JUPITER DIVE CHARTERS ,JUPITER ,FL for sale.Well have you figured out Capt Paul Wanted to operate in the sun, and purchased it. Now, what to do about EAST LAKE CHARTER COMPANY?
Well, He approached Capt Roger, who not only was a USCG Licensed Master,but, also was a SCUBA INSTRUCTOR as well, and also knew the boat and company. We spent the better part of 1999 setting up a way to keep EAST LAKE CHARTER COMPANY,INC. Operating under the new ownership of Capt Roger. So in October of 1999 with the paper work done and our season closed here in the north we put the BLUE WAVE II to bed for the winter.
