What a fantastic experience with Captain Mark. He clearly enjoys meeting people and teaching them all about what he and his family have done for generations - fish for lobster. We learned so much, got to hold lobsters and crabs, and especially enjoyed meeting big Larry the Lobster. Dinner was delicious, and a treat to enjoy on the boat. Thank you so much Mark for teaching our family about lobster, and giving a truly memorable experience.

Great communication and booking. Learned so much and the lobster dinner was delicious! The deck is covered, so you don’t need a hat.

What a great experience for the whole family. We choose to do this experience vs. a tour of Charlottetown and were very happy with our choice. The kids were so happy with holding tiny starfish, a crab, and a lobster. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting charlottetown and want to experience a fun time on the water. Mark and Sarah were great hosts and made the experience very informative.

Captain Mark and crew exceeded every expectation for our morning Lobster excursion. Very friendly and professional, Mark kept us interested with fun facts about lobsters and the industry. Pulled traps, held lobsters - great pics! The kids on board loved it too…. Big Kudos to Top Notch! Thanks so much for great experience!

A fantastic and educational trip with Mark and Sarah. We spent time in the beautiful harbour at Charlottetown and leaned loads about the lifecycle and conservation of lobsters, plus other marine life in this areas. All topped off with a delicious lobster dinner on board - and getting to meet Larry!

We had an outstanding experience with Mark and his daughter. It was a very-hands on tour, Mark answered all of our questions and even got our young daughters involved. Highly, highly recommend.

We had a amazing time with Mark and his daughter on the Top Notch lobster tour! Mark is so knowledgeable and friendly. We got to pull up a crab trap and a couple of lobster traps. We even got to meet Larry the 13th ;)
Loved that Mark talked about sustainable fishing and supports proper fishery maintenance!

Wasn’t sure what to expect when we signed-up. But this was an amazing tour. A lot of information, nice meal, and lots of fun.

This was fun and informative.We took the non-meal morning excursion on a beautiful day. Mark was great and we loved learning about the fishing industry and practices. The only thing that would make it better is if the beer was a bit cheaper!
