Highlight of our trip - Thanks to Brandon and Molly for an absolutely enjoyable sailing experience! This was a first sail for our boys ages 5-12, and we all had a great time. Molly brought out blankets for us, and Brandon answered our many questions, and even opened the hatches for our little guy who had a blast exploring down below. We lucked out with beautiful fall weather, and it was a highlight of our trip.

Fun sailing trip! - Fun sailing trip with Angela and Molly who also let us help hoist the sails. It was a beautiful, calm day for sailing and Angela was very informative, answering all of our sailing questions.

Hands on Sailing! - Jeff and Angela (the owners) took us on an amazing cruise in Halifax Harbour. I love to sail, so Jeff let me take the helm and work the sheets as much as I wanted. It’s the slow season and I was surprised that they took Tammy and I alone and didn’t cancel since the boat holds 12. Don’t miss your opportunity to sail with the best!

Must-have experience - I am glad that I went on this sailing tour before I left Halifax. The crew was super nice - patient with our questions and always open to sharing more sailing knowledge/personal sailing stories. As someone who is usually not comfortable with water, I felt safe and really enjoyed the relaxing 1.5 hours with the view and awesome company. Highest recommendations!

Great sailing experience in Halifax - Great small group experience! Crew were welcoming and informative! Great views, real sailing, got to help raise the sails and learned a bit about basic sailing techniques.

Beautiful & Worth it! - My boyfriend booked this trip for us to celebrate my birthday (we sailed on Monday Sept 4, 2023). It was very beautiful and the Captain (Kaleigh - was her name, I believe) and the deck hand (Molly? - I’m terrible with names) were wonderful, kind, accommodating, and knowledgeable. The sailing conditions were perfect for the majority of the ride as well, there was fog that rolled in at the end and the Captain was super confident in sailing through it, and made us feel safe as she navigates the waters. Highly recommend!
