At Evergreen Outfitting, our mission is simple: to share our passion and knowledge of the outdoors through high-quality, personalized experiences. Based in Royalton, Minnesota, our veteran-owned business is nestled along the scenic Platte River, a prime location for outdoor recreation. We specialize in guided fishing trips across Minnesota rivers, canoe and kayak rentals, and outdoor yoga sessions. Our team includes expert fishing guide and owner Benjamin Dockendorf, certified yoga instructor Amanda Dockendorf, and bass fishing specialist and fisheries biologist Eric Altena—each bringing their unique expertise to provide unforgettable outdoor experiences.

As a leading Minnesota fishing charter service, Evergreen Outfitting offers both novice and seasoned anglers the chance to fish for species like Muskie, Catfish, and various Trout. We also offer specialized trips targeting unique species such as Bonefish, Rooster Fish, Spiny Dogfish Shark, Yellow Jack, and Cownose Stingray, as well as Yellowfin and Albacore Tuna. Whether you're chasing your first catch or a new personal best, we’re here to guide you every step of the way. Benjamin Dockendorf, known for his professionalism, patience, and deep knowledge of local waters, personally leads many of these guided trips to ensure every client leaves with more than just fish stories.

What sets us apart is our commitment to creating meaningful, educational outdoor adventures. We’re not just a Royalton fishing charter—we’re mentors, nature enthusiasts, and educators who want you to walk away with new skills and a deeper appreciation for Minnesota’s wild places. We take pride in teaching fishing techniques, paddling basics, and helping people reconnect with nature. From casting tips to learning how to paddle solo, our experiences are designed to be immersive, hands-on, and tailored to your interests.

Our guided river fishing trips take place on a 2018 18-foot Rockproof boat powered by a 200 Inboard Optimax engine, reaching speeds up to 45 knots. Designed for comfort and performance, our boat accommodates up to two guests, making it ideal for one-on-one coaching or a quiet fishing experience with a friend or loved one.

Let’s create lasting memories, catch great fish, and enjoy everything the outdoors has to offer—together.
