Sunset success!

The Sunset cruise was a wonderful experience. The captain and first mate were knowledgeable friendly and super fun to be with. The cruise itself was on a beautiful boat with lovely wines to sample and a nice crudo platter for the guests. We were scheduled to be on a cruise the next day with storms in the forecast and when we asked to move they at first could not help but then spots opened up and the young woman at the desk found us and moved us. She was so sweet and helpful. I highly reccomend this trip!

Don't miss this experience

Kim and Alex were capable, friendly and very safety minded. The weather was delightful and the wine and cheese were tasty. Best of all was the time spent getting to know other passengers and sitting up at the front of the boat. Would 100% do this again.

Very relaxing sailing...

Very relaxing sailing excursion on the Halifax Harbor. The staff were very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Loved the small group intimacy and meeting other travelers. The wine and cheese were a nice compliment to the evening.

Great pros but a few cons

Crew were great but overall value wasn’t worth it. Was a great relaxing way to see the harbour and sunset. If it was a better price or more quality/quantity of food and wine I would recommend and go again but the value didn’t add up. Pros were that the boat, crew, and views were wonderful. Boat/crew/views 10/10 Wine/food 4/10

Thanks so much for choosing to sail with us and sharing your feedback! It's really important to us to offer a lot of value for our tours, which is why we offer this premium sailing experience for less than $70 per hour, while also offering four glasses of wine and a large grazing board. We can definitely understand it would not be a fit if you're looking for more of a full dining experience than a wine tasting sail, and we do have a limit of alcohol that can be served. We do hope we have the opportunity to welcome you aboard another time for perhaps another one of our experiences! :)

Really fun sailing...

Really fun sailing adventure! It was a small group of 10 people and all very nice. The Capt and 1st mate were great! There were 4 glasses of wines to try and we learned a lot about the wineries they came from. Also there was a great charcuterie board as well! The weather was perfect too!
