Isaac, Newfoundland and Labrador is one of the Atlantic Provinces but it is not a Maritime province. The other three Atlantic Provinces are Maritime Provinces.

Ruth, this is the definition of “Maritime Provinces” in the Gage Canadian Dictionary: “the provinces along the east coast of Canada, including New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island.” This is followed by a note on usage: “The Atlantic Provinces include the Maritime Provinces and Newfoundland and Labrador.” You undermine your own case by bringing Vancouver Island into the mix. If we just went by the definition of maritime: “on or near the sea”, we would have five maritime provinces; British Columbia would be included. Nobody speaks that way.
