Ma première expérience de pêche en haute mer a été formidable. L'organisation de Matt est simple et sans prétention. Bateau propre et agréable, guides compétents, excellente cuisine et une sortie de pêche très réussie. Je recommande vivement Dawn Reader Charter.

Le capitaine Matt, Ryan et l'équipe du Dawn Treader sont au top. Un service de charter de première classe, un bateau super confortable (une cabine bien plus spacieuse que tous les autres bateaux que j'ai vus), un hébergement et une restauration de qualité à bord, du matériel de pêche haut de gamme visiblement bien entretenu et une équipe vraiment sympa. La pêche exceptionnelle en Nouvelle-Écosse suffit à elle seule. Inverness vaut aussi le détour ; profitez absolument de la formule Glenora Inn & Distillery : un whisky délicieux et un hébergement très agréable avec un excellent restaurant.

Cette sortie en mer a largement dépassé mes attentes. Non seulement le bateau est fabuleux, avec un équipage formidable, mais l'expérience de pêcher un thon géant en pleine mer restera gravée dans ma mémoire ! Dès mon arrivée à bord et jusqu'au retour au port, l'hospitalité de Matt et Jesse m'a fait me sentir comme chez moi. Leur expertise et leur matériel ont sublimé cette expérience, me permettant de pêcher un thon dès ma première sortie. Dawn Treader Tuna Charters, c'est vraiment le top ! Merci à vous deux !
