A Family-Owned Bay of Fundy Adventure
Captain Joel Wilcox & Family
Cruisin' With The Whales is more than a tour company â it's a family passion. Captain Joel Wilcox is a 4th generation fisherman with deep roots in the Bay of Fundy. Growing up on these waters, Joel developed an unwavering love for the marine world and a dedication to sharing it with others.
What started as a love of the ocean has grown into a family-run business that welcomes thousands of visitors each season. Every trip is personal. Every tour is guided by genuine passion. And every guest leaves with memories that last a lifetime.
When you book with us, you're not just buying a ticket â you're joining our family for a day on the bay.
