Cod Fishing (first time for my Husband)

Janette_B, Aug 2024
The Guide was amazing. Friendly, Informative like most people in NL. we caught our quota of cod fish in no time. Then our guide took us to Quidi Quidi village which was lovely. At the end of our journey He filleted the cod for us and we were on our way. Wonderful experience.

Nice host, too costly

The Skipper was very friendly. The trip was shorter than the stated time and we did very little fishing, one member of our party didn't even get to fish. Overall I don't think it was worth the cost.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Hello, I am very surprised with your review; I asked how you enjoyed your day on the water and you said it was fantastic and you enjoyed the experience. I offered all the opportunity to try some cod fishing and the guest that declined said they were good and didn't want todo any fishing. The tour is listed at 2 hours and we left the marina and returned within the 2 hour voyage as advertised. I am sorry you were disappointed with your adventure with NL Boat Tours. NL Boat Tours

Wonderful Fishing Trip :)

Kimberly_P, Aug 2024
What a great trip! Our tour guide met us at the dock an hour early and we immediately loaded up the boat, put on our lifejackets and headed out. The water was choppy but he handled it perfectly and navigated us into a cove (little fishing village). Once back out on the water, we put our lines in and had 10+ cod fish in no time! Incredible time and the easiest most fun fishing we've ever done! We did an extra bit of sailing around the harbor and he was able to drop us off practically right next to our cruise ship! Couldn't ask for a better guide or experience! Thanks so much!
