Great sailing - Great sailing experience with our Captain, Ryan and his mate Mitch. They made the sail informative, fun and they were very attentive to our questions and we were also able to enjoy a lovely glass of wine while on board. Would recommend for everyone. Didn't hurt that the weather was amazing.

Best way to see Halifax from the water - I had a wonderful two hours exploring the Halifax Harbour on this sailing tour. I really appreciated that the crew involved us in the actual sailing—it made the experience even more special. Big shoutout to captain Finn and deckhand Ali for being so friendly and helpful throughout the trip! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Halifax.

The BEST way to spend an afternoon in Halifax - We had so much fun on our initial sail that we booked the Summer Breeze sail within days of our initial sail. The crews (Jeff and Alexandra as well as Ryan and Cullin) were top notch; I appreciated their calm and welcoming demeanor and how relaxed they were in teaching us and others how to take an active part in sailing the boats. We were in Halifax for ten days and my only regret is that we did not book another sailing trip with JFarewell.

10/10 - Ryan and Alexandra knocked our socks off. We boat on vacation any chance we get and they were one of the best experiences we’ve had. Only problem is my teenager wants a boat now that Ryan taught her how to tack.
