Great views of St. George’s, McNab Islands, as well as Point Pleasant and Port. - Ryan and Ali were fantastic. They were very engaging and seemed like they had a genuinely good time entertaining us guests. If you’ve never sailed before, this is a great way to get a feel for it. The crew was very knowledgeable despite their young age, as they have a long history with sailing/boating and Nova Scotia. Did not travel towards the narrows/Bedford Basin on this outing, but I do not fault the crew or J Farwell Sailing Tours, this may have been a result of traffic, time allotment and wind conditions. If it’s your first time, ask an agent or your crew about the planned route and if there are multiple different routes they take.

Don't miss this - especially if you have kids! - Sailing experience not to be missed! Ryan and Colin were fantastic. The boat offered a stunning view of Nova Scotia. Our kids learned so much and were able to do a ton of the sailing tasks. The captain and the assistant captain were fun, knowledgeable, and really let us get involved.

Amazing evening with friends - Ryan and Ali were absolutely amazing. We loved our evening. Ask for Captain Ryan if you go. We did the evening wine and cheese and it was exceptional. Well worth the money.

Adventure Sail on Halifax Harbour - Had a great time out on the Halifax Harbour. Ryan and Emerson made the afternoon informative and fun! The adventure sail and being able to take part in the “work” was a bonus.

Great Adventure Afternoon Sail - We had a wonderful time with Captain Ryan and skipper Emerson. They created a safe and fun adventure for all. We had a turn with the ropes, steering at the helm and sitting near the bow. Highly recommend for families!
