These productive waters are overflowing with delicious creatures just calling out your name. Hop aboard and head home with a boatful of the beauties.

Captain Darren Park is a true local. He’s spent his whole life in the area and has never been away from the water. He’s delighted to be able to make a living out of what he loves, and hopes to share his passion with each and every customer. Nothing makes him happier than seeing returning customers, so he’s determined to send you home with a smile.

The custom-built 19’ commercial dory boat is typical of these shores. However, Capt. Darren is one of the few to offer charter on these boats.

Go after delicious Cod, Halibut, Perch, Mackerel, Squid, and many more prized table-worthy fish. These fish will all give you a run for your money, so make sure to bring your A-game to fill the boat.

At the end of the day, your captain will clean and fillet your catch for you to take home so you can cook it up right away. All you need to do is bring some suitable clothing, some snacks, and drinks, and settle in for a thrilling day in stunning surroundings. Four Season Tours promises a trip like no other.

My passion about fishing and Newfoundland and being able to make a living from what I love to do is a dream come true. I have been fishing pretty well all my life, and being a local and never away from my home province just gives me more passion about this area I call home. Being able to bring guests, friends, and repeat clients to my favorite spots and see the smiles on their faces makes me feel very satisfied. You've also got to have a feel for the environment and its surroundings, when you can make a living from the land and sea it is a real pleasure!
