5.0 Great intimate evening...

Bev_D, September 2025

Great intimate evening crushing the Halifax harbour…..not too many people- was very easy to hear the captain and carry on conversations with others on board

3.0 Moonlight cruise

Karen_P, August 2025

It can be chilly at night. Bring a sweater. They do provide light blankets on board. Some music or narration would have been nice. I was a little worried when a guest was allowed to drive the boat given that he was drinking. He drove too fast for my liking and made an erratic sharp turn. But no harm done. Andrew the captain was very friendly and nice as was his assistant Ali.

Response from Host, August 2025

Thank you so much for including us in your summer plans. To say we were shocked to read this is an understatement! We have never had such a comment in our eight years of safe operations. We are so sorry you felt worried onboard. Please know that Our captains do have sole, full control of our vessels at all times. While we welcome moonlight guests for photo opportunities at the second helm at our side, they are not commanding the boat or setting the speed. Sailing can be an invigorating experience! Tacking and turning is a very controlled and perfectly normal part of being onboard a sailboat. Please know that safety is truly our only priority onboard, and our experienced crew have every component of guests’ time onboard thoroughly cared for.

5.0 Once in a lifetime experience

Rayne F, July 2025

Incredible experience! Andrew and Ali went above and beyond to make this a memory I will never forget. Such a beautiful view of the city, extremely comfortable and easy-going atmosphere, and our 2 guides made it feel more like a casual sail with some buddies rather than a typical robotic tour. Shout out to Jim, Angela, and Ruth for being amazing fellow passengers as well. Definitely the highlight of my trip!!

5.0 Great photo opportunities

Phil_H, July 2025

Super relaxed atmosphere on the boat. The guys were more than attentive, getting drinks arranged and setting up music. They had blankets onboard if it got chilly, but really it wasn’t cold at all. Some beautiful photo opportunities of the harbour at night.

5.0 Moonlit cruise

5.0 Great evening on the water

Andrew_R, July 2025

Captain was surprisingly young but we soon learned extremely experienced and very knowledgeable about the boat and boating/sailing in general. He was great to hang out with for the trip. Great host. His co pilot was also very knowledgeable about sailing and shared some of his experiences. Customer service 10/10 will sail again

5.0 Great experience

Santina_R, June 2025

This was a great tour of the Harbour. The captain and his crew did an amazing job keeping conversation as well as giving info in regards to our tour. They offered blankets and there were drinks to purchase. We were even able to sit on the front of the boat for an even broader experience. It was well worth it.

5.0 Amazing experience

Chels_lynn23, September 2024

My friends and I went on the moonlight tour last night and it was absolutely amazing! Captain Brandon and crew member Avery were so friendly and made the experience that much better. We travelled 2.5 hours to Halifax booked this as part of a friends bachelorette party and it was 100% worth it and one of the best parts of the trip. Great views of the city lights and so cool to travel under both bridges. We had a blast and will definitely be booking again. 10/10 recommend.

Response from Host, September 2024

WOW! Thanks for including us in your friend's bachelorette plans, such a wonderful compliment!

DayTrip30168776533, July 2024

What an AMAZING experience. We went on a later tour than usual, so we unfortunately didn’t get to watch the sunset… but we had such a great time and the views of the all of the lights made it just as special. The crew on the boat, Tim & Karina were beyond amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of and enjoying ourselves. So a HUGE thank you to them. We will be back!

3.0 Average

Bindu_K, June 2024

Captain and chief stewardess were friendly and experience was good, but we dint have music on cruise which was really disappointing. Overall experience was average..

5.0 Amazing nighttime sightseeing

516aliyahw, June 2024

This was a beautiful trip! The people were wonderful and shared many stories of their travels and pointed out all sorts of locations based on the lights far into the night. We were fortunate to go on a beautiful full moon night. If you’re looking for something calm, relaxing, and romantic, this is a great option! Thank you to the crew and everyone else on board!

Response from Host, June 2024

We're so glad you enjoyed your moonlight cruise with us! Thanks for your kind words.

4.0 Foggy sky

Rebecca_S, June 2024

The boat and staff were awesome. Service was safe and warm with loads of blankets. I was a little disappointed in the weather no moonlight or stary sky just thick fog. If you’re really looking for a moonlight cruse check the weather.

5.0 Unforgettable experience!!

denisesV4459TH, August 2023

Riley, Andrew and Kaitlyn were amazing hosts. This was our first night in Halifax and Frist time on a moonlight cruise. I don't have any pictures as we wanted to soak in the experience. It was chilly night and we didn't feel a chill!! It's a wonderful way to see Halifax harbor lights and all the stars and moonlight reflecting off the harbor!! A must do!!!

4.0 Romantic night

Alexander_B, August 2023

It was awesome I liked being on the bow and seeing the light it made for a romantic evening, I would of gave them five stars, but they gave me Diet Coke instead of real Coke, but the drink still worked.

Response from Host, August 2023

Thank you for joining us for a moonlight sail! I'm so sorry you were served the wrong drink while onboard - we stock a large variety of non alcoholic and alcoholic options to ensure everyone has something they like!

5.0 Natal day fireworks were incredible from the harbor!

Beth_C, August 2023

Best view from the boat for Natal day fireworks! Crew was very knowledgeable and fun, the other folks on the trip were very friendly.

2.0 disappointed

Jordan_V, July 2023

The ride was ok nothing special. I booked this because it was suppose to be a Catamaran boat. Wasn't pleased it was changed. The driver was very nice and friendly. The ride was suppose to be longer than it was.

Response from Host, July 2023

Hi Jordan, I’m so sorry to read this. We’re a bit confused, as our catamaran exclusively does private charters, and we’re not able to sell individual tickets for it. All the photos and description for this sail are of our monohull sailboats. The duration is advertised and delivered as 1.5 hours. We confirm the times of our sails with our Captain logbooks. If you’d like to reach out to us directly, we’d love to make this right for you, and hear more about why you thought you booked a different sail.

5.0 Great time had by all!

Philomena_S, July 2023

Overcast rainy evening but the staff are amazing and we never even noticed the weather. Professional and courteous. Thanks Ladies!❤️

Response from Host, July 2023

Thank you so much! So glad your enjoyed your time onboard with our crew despite the weather not cooperating!

5.0 Great, safe and relaxing experience.

Sandra_H, August 2022

Excellent experienced crew. Enjoyed the atmosphere and a beverage. Safe after dark voyage. The fireworks were a bonus!

4.0 Excellent night out!

laurenrh1989, August 2022

My group and I were a bachelorette party. We had such a great time! Andrew and Staire were excellent and professional. It was a clear beautiful night with a fog bank off on the distance which made for some great photos! Only reason I didn't give a 5 star, as our group was given a complimentary glass of wine each at the time of booking due to a booking error (super awesome) and some of us also paid for another glass at the time of booking. The crew didn't seem to be aware of this when we arrived so there was a bit of uncertainty and confusion when figuring out who owed what at the end of the night. I feel like this should have been communicated before we arrived. We were also told boarding was at 9:15. When we arrived at the dock there was no one around and we had no idea which boat was ours or where to go, so we worried about missing the boat as there was no one there to direct us. We only figured it, when we overheard other guests talking about it. But overall, an excellent time and highly recommend to any one looking for a relaxing evening on the water! Thank you for a lovely evening!
