The saying is true, if you don’t like the weather just wait a few minutes.

One thing is for certain, you don’t come to Newfoundland for the weather. Make sure to pack a good jacket and you’ll be best kind. Often times when we head out on the water the weather is one way on the trip out and it could be completely different on the sail back to the dock. That’s why we always stress to take layers, they can come in handy.

Postcard from a sunny last along the dramatic coastline of the North Atlantic! 📸

September is a fantastic month to slowly soak up all of the coastal beauty of the Irish Loop. ☘️ These two wonderful guests posed in front of Red Cove.... it’s not hard to see where it gets its name from.

Book soon before we finish up for the 2026 season! 🌊⛴️

UPDATE for today, September 7th

After our captain assessed sea conditions early this morning we have had to make the unfortunate call to cancel tours again today. 😔

Although the wind has settled down from this weather system, seas are still very rough with 3 meter swells. Although it’s brighter out there and the sun is forecasted to make an appearance this afternoon, sea conditions are the biggest factor. We hate to make these calls and interfere with travel plans for folks visiting Newfoundland, however, guest safety is and always will be our number one priority. ⛴️

Hopefully with lighter winds (and maybe even a bit of sun this afternoon) the seas will settle down and allow us to resume tours tomorrow 🤞🏼

Head over to our website to check our availability for later this week. ☺️

BIG fish. BIG personality.

Meet the Ocean Sunfish or Mola mola! ☀️

One of the ocean’s most unusual-looking fish, Mola mola can grow to over 3 meters long and weigh more than 2,000 kg! 🤯

Despite their impressive size, these gentle giants are often found drifting near the surface, where they bask in the sun and warm up after diving into deeper, colder waters. Many fishermen mistake them for a shark due to their long dorsal fin!

And their favourite snack? 🪼 Jellyfish! They’ll also feed on squid, crustaceans and other small marine creatures.

They might look a little goofy, but there’s nothing small about these fish! 😂 They’re rumoured to have a face only a mother could love!

You never know what might turn up alongside the boat when you’re out exploring the waters of Bay Bulls. 💙🌊

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Due to the impending weather system forecasted to hit our area over the weekend we had made the decision to cancel all departures on Saturday. Sunday’s trips will most likely be impacted as well.

If you are planning to sail with us over that time period please consider joining us today (Thursday, September 3rd) or tomorrow (Friday, September 4th) and sail in some sunshine (and calmer seas)! ☀️

Safety is always our number one priority, so as much as we hate to throw a spanner into your travel plans, we encourage you to change things up a little and join our family and crew sooner rather than later! 🌊⛴️

Yesterday brought us some fantastic weather, and even a late season bonus sighting…DOLPHINS! Hanging out right in the harbour! In this pod, there was one missing its dorsal fin - a pretty rare sighting🐬

With the water temps warming this time of year, nature can surprise us with late season sightings like dolphins, sunfish, tuna, leatherback turtles, jellyfish, and more! Stunning coastline all around to top it off.
