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!

5.00We loved our sailing experience despite the fact that it was not very windy. I really would have liked to live the sailing experience a little more.

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.
Great sailing trip

5.00There 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.
Great experience
