The Cruise with Everything Lobster

The greatest experience for anyone who loves lobster is waiting on board the Seascape Divers in Pointe-de-Chene, Canada. A most unique opportunity to live the life of a lobster fisherman for 2 ½ hours on board an actual lobster boat, ending with a meal featuring the catch of the day, is one that simply cannot be matched nor missed.

Experienced fishermen accompany guests on board this 40’ working lobster vessel, which is capable of carrying 14 passengers. The adventure begins at the wharf with bilingual safety instructions, but don’t expect dry recitations from a moldy manual. The first mate and host interjects humor and style throughout the speech to both educate and entertain his novice crew. The full voyage involves the passengers in both the lobsterman’s duties and the life cycle of the crustacean for a complete vision of the experience. Hauling in traps from fathoms deep while learning about the lobster gives new insight to the clawed creature and how it develops to become the meal of tomorrow.

One of the highlights of the cruise comes with the instruction on cracking and preparing the lobster. While outsiders may call the cooking method the “Acadian” way, the fishermen call it the cooking the “right” way. For a total cost of $55.00 for adults, $35.00 for kids 12 and under, or a family rate of $160.00 which includes 2 adults and 2 kids, the 2 ½ experience of learning the lobster life, learning how to be a lobsterman and the delicious lobster feast is a steal. Not a fan of eating lobster? Not to worry; there are additional choices of BBQ chicken or vegetarian lasagna to go along with the potato salad, coleslaw, roll, dessert and non-alcoholic beverage.

Guests can make it a true family event by inviting other family members to join; a 10% discount will be awarded to those booking cruises for 10 or more passengers.

For a unique and rewarding experience that features everything lobster, the cruise featuring the clawed crustacean will provide education, entertainment plus dining pleasure.
