Our second time out for a 2hr cruise with JFarwell on the Reverie and it was fantastic from start to finish. The captain was clearly experienced and put safety first, while still making sure everyone had a relaxed, enjoyable time on the water. The crew was friendly, attentive, and quick to help with anything we needed. The whole experience felt well-organized without ever feeling rushed. You can tell this crew genuinely loves what they do, and it made all the difference. Highly recommend JFarwell to anyone looking for a great day on the water — we'll definitely be booking again.
Very relaxing and enjoyable time. Perfect weather for sailing. Luke was great as he is so personable and made the experience that much better.
Had a great fun and relaxing sail. It was the perfect way to wind down our afternoon. Emerson and Meg were so helpful and fun to be with. Enjoyed getting to know the other passengers as well. Highly recommend.
A small boat is the best way to experience Halifax harbour. Those big boat with 100+ cannot provide the same. On a small boat your with the captain in the cockpit and close to the water. When your sailing you only hear yourselves and the water rushing by, marvelous experience. You can have drinks and there is no line up for the head🤪. Recommend👍
You just get us ;) We genueinly believe that small, intimate groups enjoying authentic, hands-on sailing is the BEST way to experience Halifax. Thanks for sailing with us!
We had the perfect day for a beautiful sail. Our hosts were very knowledgeable and fun to be with. They encouraged participation with the rigging and steering. We enjoyed the size of the vessel as we could talk directly with our hosts.
Thank you so much for joining us!
Short walk from Pier 22 where our ship was docked. Great time at sea. Very competent and companionable captain and crew.
So glad you could join us while visiting aboard a cruise ship!
Great experience with perfect weather. We got to drive the boat and pull in the sails! Learned a lot about sailing and would definitely do it again.
Thanks for letting us put you to work onboard!
The Captain( not Jeff) I cant remember his name . Was awesome . He let us all have a try at sailing the boat . Kim was so great with us too!!

Clean.comfortable and friendly helpful front desk staff
Thanks for sailing with us and sharing your kind feedback!
Just the right amount of people per trip for the right size of the yatch. You may even have a chance to steer the boat!
