Excellent experience. The weather was not all that great. But overall a great team who manned the boat so to speak.
We had an absolute blast! We had two teens (13 and 16) and they loved being able to just chill in the sunshine and listen to music on the water. Jackson was an amazing entertainer keeping the tunes going for the entire trip including a fun singalong of sweet Caroline towards the end. Drinks and snacks were very reasonably priced. We would have liked a quick intro into the ships history etc, but overall we really enjoyed ourselves. Recommend, a great way to spend a beautiful sunny day.
The weather did not affect the experience. Cold and rainy but we still enjoyed our time. The live music, drinks snacks and views were terrific
Great overall experience. it would also be great to have a guide so guests can have a reference to what they see, history and significance of it. It was nice that the musician made a refence to Peer 21 location and described the history of it, but that was it. Room for improvement!
Very nice staff, very beautiful experience, good music, it is worth going, you can even hoist the sails
A fun experience for the family visiting Halifax but impossible to have a conversation because the keyboard singer was so loud. She was very good but too loud.
I would recommend this only because of the beauty of Halifax and the nice musician. However, what is missing is a voice from the sailing team about historical information in terms of what we are looking at. It’s not so important to see large homes. Halifax has more history than that… please change the way you manage the tour. It was fun at the end to enjoy singing together with the musician… but this is NOT the point of the cruise…
Great experience and entertainment was engaging. Our first time and would definitely do this again!!
Nice breeze on the water, made for a perfect trip on a very hot day. . Gary, who is not Gary played great music and provided some guidance regarding soundings. Drinks were cold, crow were all very friendly. Overall a great relaxing experience.
We had a wonderful time from boarding until departure. There was lots of seating available. The food and beverage service was prompt. The entertainment was top notch, the song selection was excellent and the performer was a talented singer and guitarist. Definitely recommend this outing while in Halifax!
