Exciting sailing adventure - The crew Ryan and Madeleine were terrific! They were very kind and welcoming. The children on board were given the opportunity to raise the sails and steer the yacht. We were provided lots of information about the yacht and our area. They did a great job answering our questions.

Amazing sailing trip - Frankie and Margret were amazing. They were both very knowledgeable and great sports as we were on a family trip. Fun was surely had by all.
P.S. They did not put us up to this by threatening to throw us overboard by doing an “accidental” pancake if we didn’t write a great review.
P.S.S. They really didn’t put us up to this, they were great and should we happen this way again, it’s definitely on the list.

Must-do in Halifax! - What a cool experience! Jeff and Finn were superb hosts and gave us a thorough introduction to sailing. Our teens (and my husband) were completely fascinated and engaged. The kids loved getting to “pancake” on the bow of the boat. Thank you for a memorable experience!
