We had to reschedule due to weather and the guys were great about moving our trip to the next day and keeping us up to date on the weather situation. We all had a fantastic time.

If you are visiting PEI, then this is the adventure for you ! A brilliant evening on the ocean enjoying Lobster Ambassadors Mark and Cody discussing lobster, crab and tuna fishing capped off with a delicious lobster dinner. It doesn't get any more genuine or fresh than with Top Notch. The children thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. If I could give... More

This past summer was my first time to the East Coast, and it was a fantastic experience. Being taken out onto the water when we got to PEI, eating a Lobster supper, and being entertained by Mark & Cody was amazing. The two were very informative, and I learned a lot about lobsters and the industry. They were easy to... More

While on a trip up the Northeast Coast of the US, into Canada, we stopped in Prince Edward Island and decided to give the Lobster Tour a try. Boy, are we glad we did. Mark and Cody did an outstanding job of making you feel at home and safe on their boat. Their knowledge of the lobster industry was impressive.... More

Who knew that lobsters would be interesting, in addition to being delicious!! Would recommend the trip to anyone and everyone who is travelling to... More

This was very educational. Mark and Cody were excellent hosts and teachers. We learned all about the lobster industry in PEI, how licenses are distributed, the number of lobsters caught per year, variance in size, and got a real feel of the life of a lobster man. They told a number of stories, and kept it very interesting. We hauled... More
