Waves, Water, Wine and Cheese - Amazing sail with Frankie, Avery and Simone. Highly recommend this. Wine and cheese with the view of Halifax Harbour was great. Great way to spend an evening on the waterfront.

Amazing Experience - Brandon & Margaret were absolutely great hosts. Margaret handled the boat like the back of her hand. You could tell she’s passionate about sailing. Brandon was also great, explaining how to adjust the sails, etc.
We were served 4 glasses of Nova Scotia wines, but if wine wasn’t your thing you could swap it out for another drink. 2 bathrooms on board & a beautiful experience. There’s no dress code but I’d recommend flat shoes. If you’re worried about getting cold, they have blankets on board to keep you comfortable. If you’re on the fence about booking, don’t be! It’s worth it :)

A Halifax Highlight - What a lovely sunset sail experience. Ryan and Finn were professional and attentive yet so down to earth and knowledgeable with both historical and modern day factoids. Well orchestrated from
Start to Finish. Highly recommend!

A Perfect Evening - I got to hoist a sail, so I got a tiny taste of what is required on a sailboat. It was fascinating to watch as they managed the sails during the trip. Sunset was a bust, but the wine tasting and charcuterie were great. Our hosts, Frankie, Finn, Margaret, were perfect and we could not imagine there is anyone more capable, gracious or full of information as they were

A fun and exciting way to experience Halifax - WOW, what a spectacular evening! Thank you to Captain Brandon, deckhand Simone and hostess Avery. The crew took excellent care of my group of friends, truly adding to our enjoyment of the private cruise. As locals, it was a fun and new way to enjoy our beautiful city and the views, the waves, and a truly unique experience. I hope to sail again and I recommend it to anyone!
