Humpbacks!

Just a quick update folks - We had some amazing Humpback Whale sightings yesterday on our Whale Watch aboard the SeaFox. I will include some phenomenal photos of 2 slow moving Humpbacks and a very friendly Basking Shark - COOL!!

Finback Whales!

Just a quick update from the crew at Island Quest, the weather in the past few days has improved and we have had great success with whale sightings! Today was phenomenal for Finback sightings (Fin whales are the second largest mammals in the world - reaching lengths of 80 feet!) I have included a photo of one of our "Junior Captains" - a chance to drive the Island Quest and make a memory that will last a lifetime!

Shark Fishing Anyone?

Talk about an amazing day for Shark Fishing aboard the SeaFox! Captain Chris and 3 amazing guests had the opportunity to hook on to three Porbeagle Sharks! The three sharks were very large - approximately 8-9 feet in length and weighing 135-160kgs (300-350lbs)!!

Porbeagle sharks are a stout-bodied shark that resemble their relatives the great white! Acheiving lengths of 8-12 feet the Porbeagle is a large shark that feeds on the many types of fish found in the Bay of Fundy.

Whales, Wildlife and Weather..

The Fin's have come to stay here in the Bay of Fundy, Island Quest has been sighting the friendly giants on many of our departures to our guests enjoyment. Not only have the Fin's been cooperating, our favorite, the small Minkes have been curious and playful as well.

Gone Fishin' !

St. Andrews Sport Fishing has partnered with the Canadian Shark Conservation Society! On July 7th, 2011 there will be the first of many SHARK FISHING trips to head out into the Bay of Fundy.

Aboard the 29' SeaFox equipped with two 225hp Evinrude E-Tec engines, you will venture out with Shark Biologists in search of the elusive sharks of the bay - Porbeagles, Threshers, Mako's, and maybe even the giant of the deep - the Great White Shark!

Experience shark chumming, fishing for fresh bait and the thrill of a lifetime hooking onto a shark!

2011 Season Starts with a Splash

The 2011 season is starting out wonderfully here at Island Quest, yesterday while out on our 2pm departure we had the pleasure of spending time with Minke AND Finback Whales! So not only are we sighting our usual favorites, the Harbour Seals, Harbour Porpoise, Bald Eagles, and multiple types of nesting sea birds we are also seeing those friendly giants - the WHALES!

I would also like to announce the enhancement of our beautiful whale watching vessel, the Island Quest. Captain Chris, a master boat builder, decided to make an addition of 5.5 feet to the stern, providing our guests with more outside viewing space and seating!!

Come experience the Bay of Fundy our way - The Authentic Whale Watching experience! Hope to see you soon!

Cheers,

Nicole
