Authentic Island Experiences By Lynne McKenna Photos Story Thorburn
Owner and operator Perry Gotell initially started Georgetown’s Tranquility Cove Adventures (TCA) to help generate more household income. “Fishing lobster wasn’t always as lucrative as it is now and I wanted the best for my family,” he says. Fifteen years later, his business continues to thrive. TCA, which offers deep sea fishing and a giant bar clam dig as unique culinary experiences, is designated as an award-winning Authentic PEI Experience and has been designated as a Destination Canada Signature Experience. “We pride ourselves on being the first tour boating operator to open on June 1st and the last tour boat to close shop (October 15th or later) on PEI.”
This summer Gotell says guests can enjoy all the fun and authentic Island experiences that it’s known for, from giant clam digs and deep sea fishing off the coast of Georgetown to starfish hunts and shell painting on the land. New this year the company is offering oyster tonging adventures throughout the fall, winter, and spring, “Where you get to tong wild oysters and eat all you want.” Gotell says he loves his job just as his father and grandfather did. “As a retired 3rd generation lobster fisherman, spending time on the water is a way of life I love. Sharing this gift with others is quite a bonus.”
