This was a very relaxing and fun boat trip. Even with lack of wind for sailing, our crew gave us a great tour of the Halifax area, answered questions, and we had an enjoyable ride. We even got a great restaurant recommendation that was off the beaten path. It was wonderful. We can highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful excursion with fantastic, energetic, and informative captain and deck hand, both of whom knew the history of Halifax in a way well beyond their years. Without a doubt the highlight and most memorable experience of our time in Halifax!
