Halifax Sunset Cruise Ft. a Live Musician
Description
Experience golden hour, that magical time of night when the sun makes its way below the horizon, on the Halifax Sunset Cruise aboard our signature ship, the Tall Ship Silva. Purchase wine, beer, cocktails, and other beverages from our onboard bar before you set off from Cable Wharf, cruise past historic Georges Island, and make your way towards Maugher Beach and the iconic McNabs Island lighthouse. If conditions are favorable, you’ll be invited to help raise the sails before the Silva circles back for a cruise alongside the stunning Halifax Waterfront.

The 4.4km Harbourwalk is buzzing with energy. On the water, sailboats, ferries, cargo ships and naval vessels are a regular sight. The beautiful lights and bursting energy of people makes it a great scenery.
A glacial drumlin and the largest island entirely within the harbour limits of Halifax Harbour located in Nova Scotia's Halifax Regional Municipality. The Island is the location of Fort Charlotte - named after King George's wife Charlotte. The island is now a National Historic Site of Canada.

It was a beautiful sunset cruise with a great singer. The views were spectacular Staff were fun and friendly.
The tour was canceled due to weather; haven’t received a refund as requested but I’m holding out hope that I will receive it shortly.
Good music and beautiful sunset. Finding the boat and place to park should be spelled out more clearly.
Excellent, it is much colder out on the water, wish I brought a touque and gloves. Music was amazing, and I suggest getting the full experience by becoming an honorary crewmember like my partner and I. Crewmembers H. R. and R. M. signing off from the HMCS Silva 🫡.
Great time, beautiful evening with sunset!
It was so exciting to see the crew put up the sails. The musician played great contemporary music. We tipped him. The bar was busy and everyone became friendlier after a glass or two. Also, the gangplank is a bit steep after a glass or two. The pier is easy to find and there are nice restaurants all around for dinner afterward.
Beautiful sail in the harbour. Garry from Barrie provided some great live music which made the sail that much more pleasurable. Not too long, not too short! Recommend!
Amazing! Crew was so friendly, view was amazing and the entertainment was fabulous. It was a clear day so the sunset was fabulous.
Only suitable in dry weather as no shelter. Would have preferred more commentary on what we were passing, rather than the musician. Sails were put up but of course she’s not a true sailing ship. Still we were lucky as it was a lovely late afternoon/evening and was something different.
We really enjoyed the sunset cruise! The musician was good and entertaining. The staff were very friendly. The weather was great and we had a beautiful sunset cruise. I would suggest getting there at least 30 minutes before to get in line.
