Step aboard our Legend 18 XTR, a masterpiece of Canadian engineering designed for those who refuse to choose between a hardcore fishing platform and a premium cruising experience. This isn't just a boat; it’s your private sanctuary on the waters of Nova Scotia. Join us for an unforgettable journey through the diverse watersheds of Halifax and Hants Counties. Whether you’re looking to battle legendary Striped Bass in the waters of the Shubenacadie Grand Lake or hunt for trophy Smallmouth Bass, Brook Trout and Chain Pickerel in the hidden gems of the HRM, we provide a bespoke angling experience tailored to your skill level. Why Fish With Us? - Local Expertise: We don’t just fish these waters; we live here. We understand the complex tidal charts of Hants County and the "secret" hatches of Halifax’s lake systems. - See the Strike: Watch fish react to your lure in real-time. Mega Live Technology removes the guesswork, allowing us to adjust our presentation instantly to trigger a bite. - Top-Tier Gear: We provide high-quality rods, reels, and a curated selection of local flies and lures. You’re welcome to bring your favorite setup, but we’ve got you covered with the best in the business. - Adaptive Guiding: From "first-cast" beginners and families to seasoned pros looking for a PB (Personal Best), we adapt our coaching style to ensure you leave a better angler than when you arrived. Captain’s Note: "There is nothing quite like the rush of a Shubenacadie Striper hitting a topwater plug at sunrise. My goal is to get you on the fish, but more importantly, to share the rugged beauty of Nova Scotia's wild backyard."

2022 Legend 18 XTR, 115 ProXS

Forget cramped seating and exposed decks. The 18 XTR is designed with a "comfort-first" philosophy: The Full Stand-Up Top: Whether it’s the midday sun or a passing Atlantic mist, our full high-profile canvas enclosure keeps you dry and climate-controlled without sacrificing your view. Convertible Luxury: Featuring plush, contoured seating and an oversized aft casting deck that converts into a padded lounge area, there is ample room to stretch out between bites. Smooth Navigation: The extra-wide 97-inch beam and deep-V hull ensure a stable, dry, and "soft" ride, even when the Basin or the Bay gets choppy. High-End Technology & Amenities We’ve outfitted the 18 XTR with a suite of professional-grade electronics to ensure your success: Precision Intelligence: State-of-the-art Humminbird GPS/Sonar suites coupled with Minn Kota i-Pilot technology for pinpoint anchoring over the most elusive honey-holes. The Soundtrack of the Lake: A premium Bluetooth audio system allows you to set the mood for your expedition. The Refreshment Station: Integrated livewells and dedicated cooler storage keep your trophies fresh and your beverages ice-cold.

Operator since 2022

After retiring from the Canadian Armed Forces in 2020, I launched River Valley Guide Company to share the pure escape that only the water provides. For me, fishing is more than a hobby; it’s a powerful reset from the daily grind. I’m driven by the thrill of the chase and the adrenaline of that first strike. There is nothing quite like the excitement of seeing a guest’s face light up when a plan comes together—I live to provide that moment of total immersion where the only thing that matters is the fish on the line.
