Overview

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.

Meeting points

The boat is waiting for you on the south side of St. John's Harbour Type in 'south side boat basin' into your GPS and we await your boarding on the 22 ft Grady White named after my wife's nickname - Tammy Joe. Please note we are located St. John's Newfoundland (Not St. John New Brunswick)

End point

This activity ends back at the meeting point.

Itinerary

Enjoy a day of cod fishing or we can try to photograph some humpback whales and with any luck we may even find some million-year-old icebergs floating by. You may wish to just relax on deck and enjoy an ice cold beer while the puffins swim along the ocean surface. It's time to relax and enjoy the beautiful North Atlantic Ocean while floating past the most easterly point in North America, Beautiful Cape Spear. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR ANYONE WISHING TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COD FISHERY The cod fishery is only open Saturday- Monday of every week. Please verify your tour dates coincide with the cod fishery if wishing to go cod fishing.

Mike was a wonderful and cheerful host and skipper. In spite of inclimental weather we had a super time, beautiful ice bergs, cliffs and waves. Happy memories

Cod Fishing (first time for my Husband)

Published on Aug, 2024

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.

Wonderful Fishing Trip :)

Published on Aug, 2024

What a great trip! Our tour guide met us at the dock an hour early and we immediately loaded up the boat, put on our lifejackets and headed out. The water was choppy but he handled it perfectly and navigated us into a cove (little fishing village). Once back out on the water, we put our lines in and had 10+ cod fish in no time! Incredible time and the easiest most fun fishing we've ever done! We did an extra bit of sailing around the harbor and he was able to drop us off practically right next to our cruise ship! Couldn't ask for a better guide or experience! Thanks so much!

Very Good Service and great location

Published on Jan, 2024

The caves wine tour was very interesting. They also took us on a tour of the surrounding vineyards as well as the town. The sparkling wine at the end of the tour was also worthwhile. The little stand inside the winery had great foods for a picnic and the whole place was set up outside for just that purpose. Some of the best hospitality ever in France.

Amazing experience!!
