About the Sail:

You've never experienced Halifax like this before.

Step aboard your private catamaran with friends, family or colleagues, and get ready for an unforgettable day. Depart downtown Halifax and sail through the harbour to Wreck Cove, a hidden gem alongside McNabs Island, overlooking Lawlor's and Devil's Islands. Our crew will drop anchor so you can enjoy a fun, scenic meal - a catamaran BBQ or picnic! While at anchor, take advantage of all the availability activities, such as:

 

  • take our tender boat into the island to explore

There is simply no better way to spend your day!​
