Favorite part was our friend who wasn't overly excited about the sailing ended up hoisting the sail and had a great time!

The young tour guide was great. The weather was beautiful. The wind and seas were calm. An exciting way to
spend a couple of hours viewing the Halifax Harbour.

We went out in Halifax on a beautiful day. Crew was nice but very disappointed that we never left the harbour. We expected to get out and see the sea not Dartmouth and the shipyard in Halifax. Also, on our return to port the crew member told me to get my hands in the boat because we might hit the dock. The captain hit the dock and my family and I were covered in splinters. Thankfully we weren’t hurt. Could have damaged someone that was facing the dock. I will check closer with my next trip to make sure we are not disappointed.
