Mariner Cruises is based in Westport, on Brier Island, Nova Scotia, the most westerly location in Nova Scotia. The region is among the best whale watching areas in Canada and one of the premier birding destinations in North America.
Mariner Cruises is owned and operated by Penny and Roy Graham, lifelong residents of Westport, Brier Island. The company has been offering unique whale watching and seabird adventures for nearly a decade. Captains Roy and son, Kenney Graham are experienced fishermen and have navigated the waters of St. Mary's Bay and the Bay of Fundy for years; Roy since 1961, Kenney since 1983. Rest assured that with over 62 years of sea experience behind them, a Mariner Cruise will be safe and enjoyable. It should also be noted that both the captains and crew are certified in MED First Aid and C.P.R..
Our vessel is the Chad and Sisters Two, a sturdy Cape Island-style Certified Passenger Vessel, that meets or exceeds Canadian Coast Guard safety standards and guidelines. She is 50 feet long and fiberglass constructed. The vessel is equipped with washroom facilities (often necessary on a three-hour tour), a heated cabin, an extended awning for the protection of passengers against the sun and rain and 'a viewing stand', that offers unrestricted viewing of nearby whales and seabirds.
All Mariner Cruises are professionally narrated by local naturalists, who are well-versed in the dozens of mammals and bird species that visit this important ecological region. Their friendly commentary and information exchange with passengers is well-known, and one of the many reasons outdoor enthusiasts choose Mariner Cruises for a unique sea adventure at Westport, Brier Island, Nova Scotia's Whale Watching Capital.
