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.

The musician was excellent and added a lot to the experience! On a warm summer evening, this sunset cruise was a memorable experience.

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.

The tour was canceled due to weather; haven’t received a refund as requested but I’m holding out hope that I will receive it shortly.

Good music and beautiful sunset. Finding the boat and place to park should be spelled out more clearly.

It was so exciting to see the crew put up the sails. The musician played great contemporary music. We tipped him. The bar was busy and everyone became friendlier after a glass or two. Also, the gangplank is a bit steep after a glass or two. The pier is easy to find and there are nice restaurants all around for dinner afterward.

Only suitable in dry weather as no shelter. Would have preferred more commentary on what we were passing, rather than the musician. Sails were put up but of course she’s not a true sailing ship. Still we were lucky as it was a lovely late afternoon/evening and was something different.
Steven_G, Oct 2025
We really enjoyed the sunset cruise! The musician was good and entertaining. The staff were very friendly. The weather was great and we had a beautiful sunset cruise. I would suggest getting there at least 30 minutes before to get in line.
Ashley_S, Oct 2025
This sunset boat cruise was unreal! The music, the sunset and the vibes were unmatched. 10/10 would go again. Happy birthday, captain!

The evening was a one of a kind experience--the tall ship's sails fluttering, great entertainment, and a beautiful sunset.
Andrea_M, Sep 2025
This outing was very affordable. The wind gets a bit chilly, bring a hoodie.
Sit on the Port side of the boat for the best sunset pictures. Don't be shy about going uptop to get good pics too. The live music was a bonus. It was a fabulous evening. Thank you.

We almost got on the wrong boat so that was a little hilarious. Once we found the right boat, we had a wonderful time. The music is a good mix of nostalgia and current songs. My kids had a great time. You can get drinks, snacks onboard and the bathrooms are very clean. Overall GREAT experience. Enjoy!!
Advice: Give yourself an extra five to make sure you’re at the right dock.

Lovely evening sail. Bartenders and live music made the trip so enjoyable. Would highly recommend to any visitor😊

So fun! Friendly crew and great entertainment! Great value! Will do this again before summer ends!!!
Rose_F, Sep 2025
The tall ship Silva was beautiful. When they raised the sails, with some help from the passengers (what an experience) it was majestic. There was a perfect chill in the air (sweater weather) the sunset and waterfront was beautiful. The entire crew was fantastic. Gary the musician on board made it a party, along with Murphys Pub.

Beautiful experience with live music!! Very friendly staff. Easy to book and locate. Great and easy to book through Viator!

The cruise itself was nice and the live music was great. The only negative thing we would say about it was it felt way too crowded. Couldn’t really move around nicely to take sunset pictures with the family

There are too many people on board. If you’re sitting down you can’t see anything. Girls working on the boat were very nice.
Nancy_L, Aug 2025
Definitely a “must do” experience while in Halifax. Smooth sailing & the singer on board was very good & had awesome selection of songs. To top it all … the gorgeous sunset! Highly recommended tour!
Valerie_R, Aug 2025
Get there early to get a good seat! Be ready for a relaxing ride in the harbour listening to musical accompaniment. A great way to end our vacation!
Naz_K, Aug 2025
This tour was such a great way to spend a summer evening in Halifax. The staff was super kind and welcoming, we had a perfect view of the city and sunset, and the live music made it such a fun experience.
Jeff_L, Jul 2025
The sunset cruise was wonderful. It was just the right length and let you see a lot of the Halifax skyline/waterfront. It would have been nice to have had a tad fewer people on the boat, as there really wasn't enough seating for everyone. So, if you got up to see something, you risked losing your seat. The harbor views were the entertainment we came for, but, the singer/guitarist, who gave a concert on board, was nice to hear. He was very friendly, approachable, and performed well. Overall, it was a great, affordable experience that I recommend.
