Customer Reviews
I had the privilege of being hosted by Jamie this summer on an unforgettable fishing tour. Several of my close friends flew in from across the country for my wedding, and I wanted to give them a true taste of the East Coast. Jamie took us to several incredible fishing spots along the coast and delivered not only a fun and entertaining day, but an educational one as well. His passion for the ocean was infectious—he took the time to explain the ins and outs of lobster fishing, with everyone eagerly listening and asking questions. It made me so proud to share a piece of my East Coast roots, especially knowing how much my friends loved the experience—we still talk about it to this day. It was the perfect send-off to my wedding celebrations. I can’t thank Jamie enough for his warmth and hospitality, and I highly recommend joining him for a trip you won’t forget. I can’t wait for the next excursion!
Capt. Jamie and his right hand man Timmy took us on an awesome cruise from Toney River to Skinner's Cove. We enjoyed hearing stories about how people settled the area many years ago. We were also given the opportunity to drive the boat on the return trip. Thanks captain Tony and Timmy for a great morning on the ocean. Jax Blue Peterborough, Ontario
