What a Great Place to entertain clients! I have been using Calcasieu Charter Service for about 6-7 years now and the accommodations have always been great and the meals are outstanding. I have entertained up to 12 guests on different trips and we have always been comfortable. With both upstairs and down stairs big screen TV’s, they have everything to keep your clients entertained. The service you get from the staff in the lodge and the guides on the boat is professional, courteous, and helpful. I would highly recommend you give Calcasieu Charter Service a call for your next trip to the Lake Charles area. You won’t regret it.
