"From the first time we approached Denis and Ashley Gauthier about providing us a shuttle service to the Slate Islands, we knew they were the professionals we were looking for. In such a friendly manner, they gave us basic information on their shuttle service, the cost, the best time to plan for our adventure, and the safety measures they consider. Over the course of the time preceding our trip, they were prompt in returning our emails with questions, and gave us great help with the logistics of our kayak adventure. We were so excited to meet them. The day of our shuttle, we got to see what a finely-tuned and welcoming operation this young family is. Ashley and Denis made us feel like our enormous pile of gear and our 4 kayaks were, of course, something they could handle. Their young son, Evan was ready with smiles to help with the grunt work. Safety was their number one concern with our crossing to the Slates. Denis gave us local knowledge of the area on our boat ride over. He chose where to start us on our trip based on where he knew other paddlers would be. It all felt very personal. We got reliable intel on cell service and were able to confirm with them our pick up time and place, the day before. Denis and Ashley arrived on the dot. We loved having the Gauthiers as part of our fantastic trip out of Terrace Bay. On all levels, they added to our enjoyment of this wonderful experience. We’ve already sung their praises to several friends and would enthusiastically encourage others to use Evans Fishing Edge as a fantastic start and finish to their Superior adventure."
