Capt. Amy's Lobster Fisherman for a Day

Experience a Full Day of Authentic Lobster Fishing on the Northumberland Strait Waters

Before sunrise, meet Captain Amy and her crew at Caribou Fishermen's Wharf to board the Lauramy N Boyz, a working fishing boat for a full-day lobstering adventure. As the crew prepares for the day, Captain Amy provides a safety briefing, a tour of the vessel, and a chance to try on a survival suit. This ensures all participants are ready for the maritime journey ahead as they sail toward the productive fishing grounds of the Northumberland Strait.

As you sail toward the fishing grounds, enjoy a breathtaking sunrise over the Strait, with calm waters and warm colors creating a magical start to your day. On the grounds, observe Captain Amy and her crew hauling traps, measuring and picking lobsters, baiting traps, and banding their catch. You will learn about generations of fishing on the Northumberland Strait while gaining insights into the sustainable practices and conservation efforts that protect this treasured way of life.

After a full day of hands-on activity, return to the wharf and witness local fishermen selling their catch and preparing for the next day of lobstering. This immersive experience provides a rare look into the daily lives of maritime workers and the challenges they face at sea. Each participant leaves with two live Northumberland Strait lobsters and a deep appreciation of local culture, traditions, and the heritage that defines this coastal region of Canada.

The tour is designed to be both educational and engaging, offering a unique perspective on the fishing industry. By participating in the daily routines of the crew, guests gain a firsthand understanding of the hard work required to bring fresh seafood to the market. This authentic experience is perfect for those interested in maritime history, sustainable fishing practices, and the natural beauty of the Northumberland Strait, providing a memorable day on the water for all.
