Love Boat Seafood Tours

A lobster-fishing experience and shore lunch out of Chéticamp — pull traps, learn to band a lobster, and eat one off the boat the same morning. As authentic as it gets without a fishing licence.

What to expect

• A working lobster boat with a captain who fishes the rest of the year
• Hands-on trap pulling and lobster handling
• A shore-lunch component with fresh-cooked lobster
• A roughly 2 to 3 hour outing

Don't miss

• Banding your own lobster — kids' favourite moment
• The captain's stories about the season and the gear
• A piece of bread to soak up the broth

Good to know

• Operates during lobster season, typically May–July
• Weather-dependent; have a backup day
• Bring layers and grippy shoes
• Reservations essential

Pair it with

• A meat pie at Aucoin Bakery for the road
• A whale watch later in the day
• A Saturday matinee at the Doryman Pub
