Framboise Sport Fishing Charters

Tuna and groundfish charters out of Framboise on the southeast coast — the unsung side of Cape Breton, with serious offshore action and almost no crowds. The captains here are commercial fishermen who run charters when the season allows.

What to expect

• Half-day and full-day charters for cod, mackerel, and giant bluefin tuna
• Working boats — comfortable but not luxury
• All gear provided; bring food, water, and sunblock
• Quiet shoreline you'll have largely to yourself

Don't miss

• Catch-and-release tuna trips, late summer through fall
• Fresh cod jigging — kid-friendly and fast
• The drive down to Framboise itself, a coastline most visitors miss

Good to know

• Weather-dependent — flexibility helps
• Charters fill fast for tuna season
• Cell service patchy along the coast
• Cash often preferred; ask in advance

Pair it with

• A swim at Belle Côte or Point Michaud beach
• A stop at the Fortress of Louisbourg on the drive back
• Dinner at the Grubstake or Beggar's Banquet
