Famous for its warm hospitality and incredible beauty, travelling to Canada’s east coast is a must-do on the list of many luxury superyacht charterers. Escape from the day-to-day with a revitalising journey through Canada’s magical maritime provinces, consisting of Newfoundland, Labrador, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
A tough decision - low tide or high tide? At the Bay of Fundy’s Hopewell Rocks, there is no need to choose. Indulge in the best of both worlds. Home to the world’s highest tides, the Bay of Fundy is an experience like no other. During low tide, the secrets of the Hopewell Rocks are revealed. Sink your toes into the warm sand of the ocean floor, view hidden coves and discover how the rushing tides continue to shape the rocks today. Six hours later, the high tides return as water rushes in to hug the famous Flowerpot Rocks, providing a completely different perspective to this marvel of nature. Jump in a kayak from the back of your yacht and paddle around the towering sandstone pillars.
Teeming with marine life, the mouth of the Bay of Fundy provides the perfect feeding ground for a spectacular variety of nature’s largest mammals. During the summer and early autumn, Minke, Humpback, Finback and North Atlantic Right Whales frequent this area to feast upon its bountiful underwater banquet.
All you need do is sit back, relax, revel in the luxury of your superyacht and prepare to be awe-inspired and amazed by this most dramatic of coastlines.
One of the most incredible things about exploring Canada’s east coast by superyacht, is that you get to experience many things that you quite simply just do not see everyday, such as the parade of 10,000-year old icebergs that cruise along Iceberg Alley, the area between the coast of Labrador and the north-east tip of Newfoundland, in late May and early June. The sheer magnitude of the bergs is a sight to behold.
