What a fantastic calm morning sail with incredible harbour views! My friends and I had such a memorable time with Jeff and Margaret's wonderful hospitality. Thanks for making my arrival to Halifax feel so special! I will definitely book again.

We had a great trip with two families -- and three kids under the age of four. They loved "captaining" the boat (pulling up the sales, steering the ship), while the adults enjoyed the history and scenery. Thank you for being so good with our little kiddos-- this was a highlight of our trip to Halifax.

Fantastic experience! If you are looking for a boat tour of the Halifax harbor area, look no further. This is the one you want. Beautiful 45 foot sailboat with comfortable seating, room to stretch out on the bow, and two inside bathrooms. Our captain Caleigh and deckhand Lillian were friendly, fun, professional, and experienced. They answered all of my technical questions about sailing and they were patient, gracious and kind with my three daughters. We took our daughters ages (11, 9, and 7) and 2 senior citizen grandparents: Everyone had a great time. One of the grandparents has arthritis and was worried about difficulty getting into the boat but she ended up having no problem at all. Highly recommend this tour. 100% would do this trip again. This was definitely the highlight of our trip to Halifax.
