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.

Jillian_N, Aug 2026
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.

Beautiful sunset ride

We had a beautiful evening to go out on the tall ship Silva. The crew was wonderful and Tommy Green Junior entertained us during the voyage. I would highly recommend.

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.

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

Sunset cruise lots a fun

Karen_A, Nov 2025
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...

Denise_S, Oct 2025
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.

Great sunset cruise!!

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.

Girls trip perfect Saturday night

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!

Under The Tall Sails

Daniel_C, Oct 2025
The evening was a one of a kind experience--the tall ship's sails fluttering, great entertainment, and a beautiful sunset.

Great 2 hours to start kick start our vacation.

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.

Great for kids, families, coworkers or friends!!

SaraElizabeth_d, Sep 2025
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.
