4.00This was a very pleasant boat ride in Halifax Harbor. However, the sails were only up for a short time, and the engines were never turned off, so we did not actually “sail.”
Overall Enjoyable Experience

5.00Relaxing experience. There was entertainment that added to the overall enjoyment. It was windy so the sails were not up for long and we had to dock at a different dock than we left from but the experience of being on the water was very enjoyable.
