-How many people can you charter at once?
We take charters of 1-4 people, but will handle 5-6 depending on circumstances. Our father/daughter crew welcomes people of all experience levels, all male groups, all female groups, co-ed groups, everyone welcome! 
-How long will we be fishing?
We leave in the early morning in order to maximize fishing opportunity. We plan to be out on fishing grounds by daybreak to get you the morning bite. That can mean leaving the wharf before sunrise. Often we will fish the entire day to maximize the opportunity to put our clients on tuna!
-Can we book more than 1 day?
We recommend booking more than 1 day in order to optimize your experience (pending inclement weather, allowing clients more opportunities to reel one in, maximize the experience for those travelling from a long distance, etc.)
-Where is the nearest airport?
Antigonish, Nova Scotia is a 1.5 hour drive from Halifax's Stanfield International Airport, and a 45 minute drive from Port Hawkesbury Airport
-Why Antigonish?
We are home to some of the largest Bluefin Tuna in the world. Migratory patterns bring these giant fish to our Gulf of St. Lawrence every year, where they feed and grow as large as 1496lbs (world record caught locally).
-When is the season?

Our season opens August 15th and runs until October 15th. 

-What is the temperature like?
In late August and September you can expect the 70s. In October, or if a cool Northeast breeze comes, temperatures can drop down to mid-50s. It's easier to take it off than put it on so just pack a few layers and you'll be good to go! 
-Do I need to have experience fishing?
No! Even if you aren't an avid fisher, joining us will be an exciting experience for you and your fishing friends to experience the exhilaration of the "hook up" and the "battle" to reel in one of these Giants.  If you're familiar with light tackle and want to try heavy tackle, scratch this off your bucket list. Our fighting chair provides the ideal venue to feel the strength and speed of these powerful creatures. We will teach you all you need to know!  
-What do we need to bring?
We look after all fuel, bait, gear, food, snacks, tea, coffee, beer, water, etc. All you'll need is your rain gear and your eagerness for adventure! 

-Where do we stay?
Antigonish has several great places to choose from. If you need assistance making accommodation bookings while you're in Antigonish, feel free to contact us, we are always here to make your experience a most enjoyable one.
