Showing the CFAs how amazing Newfoundland is — by land and sea! 👀

We’re excited to be spending some time in Twillingate working on a special film project. However, we wanted to clarify that we are not operating regular tours in Twillingate.

Our current role in the region is providing marine support, safety, and logistics for this production. We wish we could tell you more, but unfortunately, we’ve been sworn to secrecy by the production team. All we can say is that it’s going to be an incredible project that not only showcases Twillingate and the amazing iceberg season they’re having, but also brings attention to Newfoundland and Labrador as a whole, helping foster further economic growth in the area as a whole. We can’t wait to see the final product!

If you’re looking to get out on a regular boat tour while visiting the area, we encourage you to check out the many local tourism operators, who are providing guests with truly outstanding experiences.

We don’t just take people on tours... we create experiences! 🙌🐋🤠

What’s the difference?

A tour is something you do. An experience is something you talk about for years afterwards.

It’s the difference between saying, “We saw whales and explored the coastline,” and saying, “You had to be there!” 👀

Whether you’re planning a family gathering, corporate outing, celebration, or simply a day on the water with friends, our team can help create an experience that feels uniquely Newfoundland.

Spend the day exploring the coastline, then gather at The Boathouse to share stories, enjoy local food and drinks, and take in the charm of historic Petty Harbour. From intimate gatherings to larger group events, we’ll help make it a day to remember.

Interested in planning a private booking? We’d love to hear your ideas.

Some days we’re sharing the history of this incredible island. Other days, we’re helping folks make history… 🌊

Congratulations to on the launch of The Big C Atlantic Challenge! We had the privilege of towing Andrew out as he began this remarkable journey.

Andrew is attempting to cross the Atlantic Ocean in a micro-boat to raise funds and awareness for cancer research in the UK. It’s an inspiring mission that showcases determination, resilience, and the power of a great cause.

**UPDATE**
Andrew was retrieved by Canadian Coast Guard. The boat had a technical issue is now back on shore safe and sound.

We’re are STILL proud to have played a small part in the start of this adventure and wish him fair winds and following seas no matter what he gets up to next!

All hands on deck for the maiden voyage of the newest addition to the Ocean Quest fleet and what a day it was! 🙌🛥

A big thank you to everyone who joined us for this special tour. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome even more visitors and locals aboard this new boat that has been in the works for some time now.

This vessel creates an incredibly interactive experience on the water and gives guests some of the best views possible of Newfoundland’s coastline, wildlife, and everything else the North Atlantic has to offer 👀
