Sailing experience not to be missed! Ryan and Colin were fantastic. The boat offered a stunning view of Nova Scotia. Our kids learned so much and were able to do a ton of the sailing tasks. The captain and the assistant captain were fun, knowledgeable, and really let us get involved.

Just the right amount of people per trip for the right size of the yatch. You may even have a chance to steer the boat!

We had a very nice time on our sailing tour. The skipper and deck staff were both very friendly and gave us a nice introduction to sailing. The equipment on board was nice and modern. It was easy to get on and off the sailboat. Everything was great.

I bought this sailing excursion for my dad as a Father’s Day gift him and his fiancé they had the most amazing time. They said the crew was incredibly hospitable. They called to thank us and tell us what a nice day they had. My dad said he would highly recommend to anyone in the area. He even called when he got home to make sure that we left a tip for the crew.

There wasn’t much wind for sailing, so we motored around the harbor. But it was a beautiful day and the crew did the best they could under the circumstances.

The boat was beautiful, clean and well staffed. I would highly recommend this trip. Safe and fun sail. Enjoyed taking the helm for a few tacks.

We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and highly recommend it. The staff on board were courteous, professional and friendly. We were invited to assist the captain with various onboard tasks which was entertaining.

It was nice to get out on the water and to see Halifax that way. We saw proposes and seals and had a little wind for sailing
