Great cruise on a perfect evening - Wonderful evening with a great crew. If you go to Halifax we recommend going out on the water to see the city. You will get an entirely different view of the city.

Great experience with beautiful scenery! - We had such a wonderful time sailing around the Halifax harbour and down the Northwest Arm. It was really cool to be able to go sit up on the front of the boat and take it all in. Staff were extremely friendly and provided a great experience.

10/10 Girls Trip Experience! - This was so fun! Maureen and Brandon were incredible and made the experience interactive, informative and hilarious. We learned so much about the history of Atlantic Canada, the wines, sailing, and the sights along the tour. Despite the foggy and rainy weather, we loved every second of it. The wines were delicious and the charcuterie board was so well done with the perfect amount of food for our group. Thank you Maureen and Brandon for being the highlight of our weekend!

Sunset Sailing - What a wonderful experience aboard this sail boat. Our tour guides Brandon and Stephanie were amazing. They provided a fun atmosphere where we learned about Halifax, and Canadian wine. We tried four different amazing wines and the charcuterie did not disappoint with an array of cheeses, crackers, chocolate and meat. Thank you for the best experience.

Great Sailing Great WIne - Cheryl and Erik went on this cruise with friends August 22, 2023. The crew was friendly and knowledgeable. They sailed the boat very well and it was a smooth ride. They pointed out point of interest. The wine steward explained each wine and stated where we could purchase them. There were plenty of snacks (cheese, meats, nuts, etc.) to be had. We had a fun night. We highly recommend this event.

Six stars trip - If I could rate this tour 6 stars, I will. We had an amazing experience. The wine selection was extraordinary, the navigation in the ocean made me want to be a sailor, the crew was gentle and knowledgeable. The hours spent flew by and the scenery with wine and cheese couldn't be better. Thank you for making our Halifax visit so joyful.

Not what we paid for - We were disappointed that the boat did not have all equipment working to allow us to sail. ie: incorrect winch handkes on board and electrical problems with winches. It ended up being a motor boat ride on a very cold evening
