This cruise is a must for all lobster lovers or those who have not tried them before. Captain Ron gives a lot of background information about the lobster business as well how to prepare and eat a lobster properly. This cruise was certainly one of...our highlights on our tour through the eastern part of Canada! We can therefore highly recommend it to everybody!More

We very much enjoyed our lobster cruise with Captain Ron. He is knowledgeable, funny and passionate about the lobster industry and conservation. He turned a recreational cruise into some fun learning and a memorable experience for us. We enjoyed the bay, the scenery and the...lobster. He and his crew also cooked and served us the best lobster we've ever eaten, after showing us how to properly break up and eat a lobster the Acadian way. We are now hooked on that method and hope to practice it regularly for many years. I definitely recommend sharing part of your day with Captain Ron and his crew on the Shediac Bay Cruises.More

Two cruises in Pointe-du-Chene, NB are identified by TripAdvisor: Shediac Bay Cruises [Lobster Tales] and Croisieres Shediac Bay Cruises. Perhaps the second one is a lobster educational cruise. In June 2022, our 36-member Grand Circle Travel group boarded, not knowing what to expect. I enjoyed...[and made a mess of☺] a lobster lunch, but feasted on the education of lobster harvesting, trap construction to allow undersized crustaceans to escape, and how the traps are designed with doors that disintegrate after a few days, if the mooring lines become detached. I found most interesting the camaraderie of lobster harvesters, similar to “barn raising” events of my youth in rural North Carolina—neighbors helping neighbors. Those who prefer 9-to-5 office hours need not consider this employment venue. Seasonal hours are grueling. In off season, there is trap repairs and boat maintenance. The education of lobster harvesting—and how to extract lunch from the exoskeleton—is presented with humor. I added a “groaner” after lunch. I said, Eating lobster intestines doesn’t bother me, it’s what hasn’t left the guts that causes concern☺More

Take this cruise with Captain Ron and you'll learn all about how lobsters live and grow and how they are caught. In addition, you will learn how to properly "disassemble" a lobster with the minimum of effort. And, finally, you will have the opportunity to...eat a lobster, as well. All the time Captain Ron is both educating you and entertaining you. Watch out, though, because he has tricks up his sleeve, particularly his "chicken of the sea" catch.More
