What To Expect
This yacht sail is an amazing way to experience Halifax harbour! Guests are encouraged to become involved in the experience by helping to set the main, jib, or assisting with the tacks as they make their way through the wind. Feel free to don a PFD and make your way to the bow to enjoy the sights, and lay down to watch the jib pass overtop of you! A wide variety of Nova Scotia wine, beer and spirits are available onboard. An invigorating, iconic Nova Scotia must do!

5.00Sailing 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.

5.00I 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.
