ITINERARY

Anglers arrive at Halifax Stanfield International Airport (YHZ) for transport to Georgeville, Nova Scotia, just north of Antigonish.

Anglers gather for a tour around the area, lunch in town, unwind, and prepare for fishing with dinner at the instructors’ house.

Fishing days start early at Ballantyne’s Cove, with the overall goal being constant: catch big tuna. Breakfast and lunch served on board.

Departure times might vary for transport back to YHZ to catch your flight.

FISHING OVERVIEW

If you’ve never fought a near-1,000-pound fish on rod and reel from a fighting chair, then you’re in for the experience of a lifetime. If you have, but never had the opportunity to land a giant bluefin, then this is the trip for you! Nova Scotia’s bluefin fishery can’t be missed, and any angler worth his weight in salt is after one of these massive creatures. Bluefins are smart, they can see better than any bony fish, and are targeted in the most hypnotic of settings. The sunsets in Nova Scotia are unreal, and the wildlife is never-ending, from whales and great whites to bald eagles and the many species of seabirds that inhabit the Northumberland Strait.

Our instructors are there to assist you in your pursuit; and when coupled with the decades of experience the captains have in these waters, it’s a recipe for tuna-fishing success. Step outside the box with us and land your own giant. Only six spots are available for this platinum opportunity.

THE FLEET

ACCOMMODATIONS

Ocean views as far as the eye can see! With open-concept designs, our two angler’s houses have a total of six bedrooms and three bathrooms, impeccable chef’s kitchens, and every modern amenity (including washers and dryers) you can imagine, plus all-season outdoor hot tubs. These stylish houses are perfect for watching Nova Scotia sunsets; ones that pictures can’t begin to do justice.

Relax after a hard day’s fishing by soaking up nature in the hot tub with all the privacy you can handle. These accommodations are some of the finest in the area and are close to the marina.
