Customer Reviews
Not traditional sailing experience, but nice way to view Halifax
2023-10-27
Check in was a breeze. The tour guide gave us the opportunity to assist raising the sails on this hybrid boat. I was disappointed that the boat was motorized as this was not the experience that I was expecting. There was a good mix of information given, jokes and time to enjoy the views of the harbour. Of note, there is a pride flag that was flying just below the Canadian flag on one of the masts of the ship.
Great

Really everything was just wonderful… when the sails were hoisted it was very memorable!
Our only concern was when the commentator/tour guide needed to be reminded to include Saskatchewan as she was going through the provinces!
