Wonderful sunset cruise with a great musician and it was not overcrowded. There are drinks to purchase onboard. Definitely bring layers to wear as it does get colder out in the water (September)....I was thankful to have a hat and gloves too. No issues with seasickness at all. A lovely ship and great time!

Had a lovely time. Musician was great. Staff were great too. Full but lots of room to move around and see everything. The weather was gorgeous and we got great sights and great photos, too. Thank you all.

This was a beautiful boat. With a very cheerful and knowledgeable crew. The Boat is docked right downtown . Very easy to get to. It seemed as though the boat was full to capacity however, there was plenty of room for people to move around, which the crew encouraged. They have a small bar and snack stand on board prices more than reasonable. The musician was fun, funny and talented. There were people of all ages on this Sunset cruise. I would highly recommend it. Great price,great value.

Halifax harbor sunset cruise

Will_H, Oct 2026
Bundle up as it can be cold out on the bay. The music was great. There is a limited supply of food and drinks available on the ship. There are lots of great photo opportunities of the islands, boats, and the downtown waterfront.

Dress warm...

Mike_R, Oct 2026
Dress warm It should actually stay out on the water at Sunset as that is the name of the cruise; we disembarked 15 min prior to sunset. Disappointing.

Delightful Evening

Annette_O, Oct 2026
Experience and entertainment amazing although it was a-bit cold so dress appropriately if taking a late afternoon cruise. The entertainment was Gary from Barrie wonderful musician and played one of his original songs. There was a lot of toe tapping to the music so you know it was good. The complimentary coffee was greatly appreciated. Hats and gloves would be an asset for a fall evening. Enjoy! Guests were allowed to participate in raising the sails.

The cruise was great!...

Amanda_L, Oct 2026
The cruise was great! Gary was fantastic, captivating, and enthusiastic! However, the crew (not the captain) seemed to have an attitude and were not friendly in the slightest.

Great experience!

The ship is easy to maneuver. The crew is helpful, professional and friendly. My husband and I made some new friends during the cruise. We had the pleasure of listening to "Big Gary" and he was charming and had a perfect lineup of songs for easy listening.

Halifax Sunset Cruise

Joel_S, Aug 2026
A nice evening cruise around Halifax Harbour on a tall ship. Good onboard entertainment. Drinks are decently priced.

Great Tour

Liv_L, Aug 2026
It was a great boat ride. It was a very pretty view and great scenery to look at the whole time. There was plenty of live music but I wish the seating back better options. We had plastic chairs that were stacked back to back. That didn’t leave much leg more, or personally space with people pushing against us.

Definitely recommend!

Jean_B, Aug 2026
We had a wonderful time on the sunset cruise. The live music was excellent and we were lucky to have a perfect weather evening too. We only wished it could have lasted a bit longer. The price was reasonable and felt like good value.

Enjoyable Sunset Sail

Sunset cruise

teryn_v, Jul 2026
We booked the sunset cruise for 8 of us gals on a bachelorette party. We showed up on time so seats were tricky to get but we ended up hanging out on the top deck which was cooler and likely, more fun. The drinks were quick and tasty and the crew get you involved in hoisting the sails! Was a great time.
