About
- Experience the life of a lobster fisher, taking in the beauty of PEI’s picturesque North Shore. First up, you will sail to oyster and mussel beds so your Captain can explain all the details in those industries. Your journey will continue to a lobster buoy that you will hook with the gaff and bring it on board the boat. Then, your authentic lobster fisher will guide you through the process of hauling a lobster trap and doing all the things lobster fishers do to get their catch to your table (you do it, they assist).
