Jeff, Moly and Anna were amazing! My sister and parents and I had a great experience enjoying the delicious wine, tasty charcuterie board and breath taking views. We lucked out and had the best sailing day, starting with the bright sun shining on the boat around 6 pm to a beautiful sunset at night. Jeff, Moly and Anna were very welcoming and knew so much! Would definitely recommend to do in Halifax before or after dinner, for its so worth it!

Six stars trip

Olga_S, Oct 2023

If I could rate this tour 6 stars, I will. We had an amazing experience. The wine selection was extraordinary, the navigation in the ocean made me want to be a sailor, the crew was gentle and knowledgeable. The hours spent flew by and the scenery with wine and cheese couldn't be better. Thank you for making our Halifax visit so joyful.

#1 Rated for a reason!

Jules_L, Oct 2023

Based on other reviews, our group booked this last minute and we were not steered wrong! This was indeed an amazing experience for all of us. The yacht staff was super friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive. I highly recommend this experience.

New friends!

Yvonne_S, Oct 2023

I was looking forward to the sunset, but Mother Nature was not cooperating. That was the only downside. Jen and Molly were amazing. The couples we sailed with were so much fun. Imagine coming this far and being with people from the same side of the country. So much fun. Do not miss this opportunity.

Best way to watch the sunset in Halifax!

Richard_P, Jun 2023

We visited Halifax on a vacation from Rhode Island, USA. We knew we wanted to get out on the water so this tour seemed a perfect choice….and it was! The weather could not have been more perfect - following some dreary days prior! We were welcomed aboard a beautiful sailboat by three very friendly crew mates! Anna greeted us with a chilled glass of wine and the table was spread with a very inviting charcuterie board. We soon met our shipmates, three lovely ladies, two from Australia and one from Ontario. Caleigh was our captain and Andrew her first mate. They shared the perfect amount of details about the area and were very open to questions. Anna did a great job introducing each wine with interesting tidbits of information about the vineyards. She obviously loves wine like we do! The views and sunset were beautiful, the company was lovely and we can’t think of a better way to spend an evening in Halifax, NS! Cheers!! Rick & Sue Perrotta

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hi Rick and Sue! Wow, thank you for making us part of your vacation in Halifax! Andrew, Caleigh and Anna are such talented sailors and wine connoisseurs! I'm so glad you enjoyed your time with them. Thanks for sailing with us!
