    The Tour

    Climb aboard our catamaran, the EMM-CAT and view the pristine waters, breath taking scenery and treasures of the Bay.Β  Live commentary throughout the cruise highlights the geological wonders, the rich cultural history and the Bay’s fascinating diversity. In this incredible setting, it is a great opportunity to photograph the extraordinary wildlife such as bald eagles, moose, whales, and seabirds. It is a photographer’s paradise!

    Screech-in Ceremony… A Traditional Newfoundland and Labrador Welcome… A Growing Fame

    The Screech-In Ceremony is a Newfoundland tradition where we give CFAs (Come from Aways) the prestigious title of honourary Newfoundlanders and Labradorians! Think of it as a fun initiation!

    The Screech-In ceremony is a Newfoundland and Labrador custom, whereby local Newfoundlanders encourage those not from Newfoundland and Labrador to become an honourary Newfoundlander. For groups of 10 or more, newcomers participate in the age old tradition known as the screech-in, featuring live traditional music, wearing a sou’wester, (a long yellow oilskin hat and coat worn especially at sea during stormy weather), drinking a shot of Newfoundland Screech (rum) and kissing a codfish before reciting: May your big jib draw.” (β€œIt means β€˜I wish you good luck. A β€œjib” is the sail in a schooner.) The newcomer is then declared an honourary Newfoundlander and given a Screech-In Certificate. Travellers visiting us from around the globe often participate in our tradition and become honourary Newfoundlanders.

    After your cruise, join us at the CAT STOP WATERFRONT PUB located dockside. It is the ideal place to wind down, relax, enjoy the beautiful view, mingle, meet the locals, enjoy a refreshment, mouth-watering snacks and listen to toe-tapping local musicians, the perfect way to end your day.
