Many of Sturgeon Bay's lodging facilities welcome fishermen: Super 8 Motel has outdoor plug-ins for boats, trailers & RVs, Chal-A-Motel can assist in catch-of-the-day storage with freezers, and Best Western Maritime Inn is located across the street from the Neighborhood Pub & Grill for those end of the day drinks you don't want to drive back to a motel after. There's even campgrounds at Tranquil Timbers or located within Potawatomi State Park if you're truly into roughing it.
Hearty breakfasts can be had at 5am at Hot Tamales, or McDonald's and 6am at Scaturo's Baking Co. & Restaurant, 7am is when the rest of the restaurants open: Galley Café, Inn at Cedar Crossing, or grab a box lunch from Bluefront Cafe.
The local city, county and state parks all have a representation of boat launching facilities. If more expertise is needed, consult one of our charter fishing guides.
