Superior Trips 2026 Season Schedule
                                                                                                     Updated 3/20/2026

The 2026 calendar is the tentative schedule for the season.  I have retired from running scuba charters and Isle Royale Trips. 

In 2026 we will circum-navigate Lake Michigan again for the first half of the season then return to Lake Huron and Michigan Thumb working our way back to Alpena and Rogers City. We will spend our time doing mostly photogrammetry but when time allows --fishing, sight-seeing, and shipwreck hunting along the way. We will also make a concerted effort to photograph and make photogrammetry models of as many shipwrecks as possible along the way.  My goal is to do forty to sixty models again this summer.   All trips listed are "split expenses" and typically cost around $200 to $400 per week depending on how many on the boat, food, gas and marina prices.  You may sign up for them by emailing me at info@superiortrips.com or calling evenings at my phone listed on the home page.  On some of the longer trips you can go for part of the trip if we can work out the ride logistics. Hopefully I can launch the boat early--like the 12th. I'll have to see how weather and the marina launch schedule works out. All "split expenses weekends" are subject to change and reserving a spot does not require a deposit and should in no way be construed as a charter reservation commitment.  The list of people signed up for each week is at the bottom of the page.
