Highlights

We offer the most unique marine adventure in Newfoundland. You will get to catch and keep your own cod fish so please bring a cooler to take your cod fillet back with you. Life is short, let's enjoy the experience on the mighty North Atlantic. There is nothing better than a day on the North Atlantic chasing the famous cod which has defined our province for over 500 years. For the more adventurous we also offer Shark Fishing Charters (Blue Shark, Porbeagle, Mako and Great White) We offer custom tour packages for those looking to enjoy the taste of freshly cooked cod right off the boat. We can pan fry your catch as soon as we clean your fish while you enjoy a cold beverage and relax after a fantastic day on the water. Please inquire for details and availability.

  • 5Great time. Mike was great at communicating and a great host on his boat.

    Great time, large cod caught. He took us into St. Johns Harbour to view the city from the water and showed us the lighthouse and the easternmost point of North America and recommended to visit the sight, which we did.

  • 5Excellent experience

    Skipper Mike is fabulous! We could not go on the tour on Saturday June 21, as the wind was too high and it was not safe to travel. We met him on Sunday June 22 and we had a faulous tour. Knowledgeable, great music, jigging to catch cod, it was a wonderful experience.

    The Guide was amazing. Friendly, Informative like most people in NL. we caught our quota of cod fish in no time. Then our guide took us to Quidi Quidi village which was lovely. At the end of our journey He filleted the cod for us and we were on our way. Wonderful experience.

About St John's

St John's is the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, a steep harbour city of painted row houses, lively pubs, sea cliffs and Atlantic icebergs.

St John's clings to the hills around a deep harbour on the Avalon Peninsula, entered through a narrow gap in the cliffs known as The Narrows. Fishing fleets from Europe used the harbour from the 1500s. Rows of brightly painted wooden houses climb the slopes, and Signal Hill above the entrance carries Cabot Tower, close to where Marconi received the first transatlantic wireless signal in 1901.
