Prime Berth Fishing Museum

When athletes need a break from the game, David Boyd has a slam dunk of an option—they should dive into Newfoundland’s rich fishing culture at Prime Berth Fishing Museum in Twillingate!

David kicked things off with Prime Berth to honour his fisher ancestors, transforming it into a hands-on fishing hub and craft studio. The "Prime Berth" name comes from the annual spring draw to snag the best cod trap spots, so you'll be diving right into local lore.

Teaming up with his wife, Christine—a seasoned fisherwoman herself—David makes it their personal mission to share this incredible heritage. First thing you’ll spot when cruising across the Twillingate causeway, Prime Berth is an easy and unforgettable stop on any Canadian adventure.

Prime Berth has netted top-tier accolades like the Certificate of Excellence from TripAdvisor and a spot in Canada’s Top 10 museums—Number 6 in 2015! But that's just the start. David, a Coast Guard-certified fishing skipper, goes beyond the museum walls with custom fishing tours. Jump aboard and live the life of a commercial fisherman, hauling in cod, mackerel, squid, and lobster.
