Sunset cruise lots a fun - It was so exciting to see the crew put up the sails. The musician played great contemporary music. We tipped him. The bar was busy and everyone became friendlier after a glass or two. Also, the gangplank is a bit steep after a glass or two. The pier is easy to find and there are nice restaurants all around for dinner afterward.

Gal pals! - Beautiful sail in the harbour. Garry from Barrie provided some great live music which made the sail that much more pleasurable. Not too long, not too short! Recommend!

Great sunset cruise!! - We really enjoyed the sunset cruise! The musician was good and entertaining. The staff were very friendly. The weather was great and we had a beautiful sunset cruise. I would suggest getting there at least 30 minutes before to get in line.

Beautiful & Fun - I rated this event with 5 stars! I was traveling with my adult daughter and wanted to enjoy a shared experience. This sailing tour had an excellent guitarist who also had a great sense of humor that entertained us during the 1 1/2 hr journey. There was a bar and plenty of seating. They raised the sails to add to the beauty of the ship as we cruised the Halifax coast. Sunset was spectacular!!!

Only suitable in dry... - Only suitable in dry weather as no shelter. Would have preferred more commentary on what we were passing, rather than the musician. Sails were put up but of course she’s not a true sailing ship. Still we were lucky as it was a lovely late afternoon/evening and was something different.
