JFarwell Sunset Wine and Cheese Yacht Sailing

We had a great time. Nice mix of attendees and great conversations. The weather conditions were a bit unexpected, but still a great time.

The most positive part of the experience was the two young men who constituted the crew in addition to the captain. They interacted with the small group of passengers and conveyed lots of interesting history of the area we toured. The four wines served during the cruise were all local wines and so interesting to try.

Had a wonderful sunset cruise with Captain Ryan. Appreciated being on a beautiful sailboat with a limited number of people (as opposed to the larger boats we passed with people crammed together like sardines). Enjoyed tasting the local wines expertly poured by Emerson. We were told we could bring snacks but didn’t really need to as there was ample food provided. (I did bring some chocolate which paired nicely with the red wine!) Highly recommend this trip.

Ryan the captain and Mitch his first mate were excellent. The experience from beginning to end was exceptional. If you go to Halifax, I urge you to book this trip.

We live in Ontario and we did a two week driving trip around the maritimes for our holiday this year. We experience several great moments. This voyage on the J. Farwell “wine and cheese evening cruise” in Halifax was the highlight of the whole trip. Our captain (Andrew) was friendly extremely competent and very knowledgeable about the area and sailing. We not only felt safe but comfortable. He had extensive knowledge of the area and its history. We really enjoyed the wine and cheese that was served by Mitch. He was funny and had keen knowledge of what he was serving. He was also a competent sailor and added tremendously to the experience. When we return to the area again someday we will definitely plan another cruise with J. Farewell’s Sailing.

Fin, Paul and Alexandra were amazing staff who made our sailing experience amazing. They were knowledgeable, welcoming and hospitable. We loved learning about Halifax's history while we led expertly sailing around the waters. A must do!

Wonderful experience - great Captain and crew. Nice wine variety - especially enjoyed the rose. The ship was comfortable and the sailing smooth!

We had a fantastic time! It was our 1st time on a sailboat. The sunset cruise with wine pairings & charcuterie board was a special treat. Our guides were excellent. Would definitely do it again.

Truly the best time. It was my dad's 75th birthday, and the captain and crew went out of their way to make sure it was a memorable evening. Excellent sail, excellent service and a great way to see Halifax. A must do.

The cruise was so beautiful and relaxing! Our guides were gracious and informative. The sunset was stunning. We arrived and watched at the perfect moment!
