OUR SHIP

Our ship, a spacious and well-maintained 24-foot ProLine, is designed with your comfort and convenience in mind. It’s fully outfitted with the latest electronics, including GPS, radar, electric downriggers, and autopilot, so we can navigate safely and efficiently—even on foggy days. There’s even an onboard bathroom to make your time on the water as comfortable as possible.

The boat is powered by a brand new Yamaha 300 horsepower engine, providing reliable speed to get us to the prime fishing spots quickly. For slower, more precise maneuvering when the action picks up, we use a 9.9 Yamaha kicker . Every piece of equipment on board, from the boat itself to the fishing gear, is carefully selected to ensure a smooth, safe, and top-quality experience. Plus, with both the boat and your guide certified by Transport Canada, you can relax knowing your safety and enjoyment are our top priorities.
