Description
This sunset sail is a stunning opportunity to see how Halifax's urban and nature connect. Guests will be greeting with their first Nova Scotia wine upon boarding, and then set sail. With the engines off and fully under wind power, Captain and crew will invite you to be as involved as you'd like with the sailing process. Enjoy learning about each glass, grown and perfectly crafted in our own backyard. Set sail into the Northwest Arm to see the Dingle Tower, lush parks and stunning homes as the sun sets. An evening you will never forget!

Great cruise
We had a wonderful cruise. Enjoyed the small group we were with. Paul did an excellent job as first mate and as our server. He is very knowlegable about NS wines and did a good job promoting them. Finn was a great captain. He explained Harbour history very well and shared a great deal about the Halifax waterfront and the arm. Both young men were pleasant and thoughtful.

Finn & Cullen: All Aboard!
Cullen and Finn - these two lads made the voyage amazing - not just for us - but all 12 passengers. Great stories, great energy, great skill - I mean the sailboat was incredible and so was the wine and cheese - but any brand would be lucky to have two young pros like this representing there brand on Land & Sea.

Wine, cheese and a beautiful sunset
Ryan and Emerson provided us with a beautiful and safe cruise while sipping wines and enjoying charcuterie. Highly recommend.

Lovely Wine Sail
We had a wonderful time on the wine sale. Brandon, Simone and Ben were amazing! They made the trip a delight. Simone was very knowledgeable about the wines and Ben and Brandon kept it smooth sailing. The boat was lovely. I would highly recommend it to anyone. You get to see the city from a different vantage point and may even spot a seal! Also, you get to see beautiful homes.

Great views, wine and charcuterie!
The views were amazing. The crew was very info and attentive to anything we needed. The person doing the wine had actually been to wine school and was very knowledgeable about the local wines and wineries. It was a great evening.

Great team - but bad weather!
We had a wonderful time - great team, and fellow passengers were all great! Only drawback and reason for downtick on the "experience" rating was the weather - it basically rained the whole time so it did put a damper on the "experience." But it was the only day available to us on our first trip to Halifax. We absolutely would recommend them and would sail with them again if we got back to town.
Operator response
Thanks so much for sailing with us, and making the most of your visit even in less than ideal conditions! Knowing you would still sail with us again means so much - we would love to welcome you back aboard!

100%
Couldn’t have fully experienced Halifax without this sailing tour! The sunset was absolutely breath taking, but what made the experience even better was the crew! Cpt. Caleigh, Molly and Avery were simply amazing. 10/10 that crew! I would definitely be doing that tour when we bring friends next year!!!!

Thank you for this amazing review! We can't wait to welcome you back!
