Hello Fleur, 

Thank you for reaching out to Ask and Islander. I hope you're having a great stay in PEI! Prince Edward Island has many different types of boat excursions, but none that explore the whole island. 

We have deep-sea fishing excursions, Charlottetown Harbour tours, river cruises, and boating and sailing tours along the north or south shore.

We also have Authentic PEI experiences like Deep-Sea Fishing & BBQ with Tranquility Cove Adventures. A two-hour deep-sea fishing adventure with an onboard barbeque is great fun for the whole family with lots to see and do. You'll get to fish for mackerel, fillet and barbeque your catch. Get up close to a local seal herd sunning on a raft, then haul a real lobster trap, rock crab pot, and mussel sock for an educational overview of each industry. There is also an opportunity to handle lobsters, crab, and wild mussels.

Another unique boating excursion is the Lobster Lovers tour with the Fiddling Fisherman out of Souris Harbour. You'll enjoy breathtaking views and experience the daily life of a lobster fisherman. Pull lobster from a trap and enjoy a lobster dinner on board. There is no fresher way to eat PEI lobster!

Have fun!

Valerie
