We had a wonderful hour sailing on the beautiful Halifax Harbour with the J Farwell Sailing Tour crew. Since it was just my husband and I, the experience felt even more special. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, making the time pass quickly. We even had an additional visiting captain, which provided great attention throughout the trip. The weather was perfect, allowing us to sail back to the wharf comfortably. Overall, it was a delightful activity to enjoy while visiting Halifax from the States.
Captain Derek and the First Mate were excellent, deserving of 2.5 points. The hour was spent on a sailboat as promised, but it was mostly under engine power in the harbor, which only warrants half a point. With the one-hour limit and the busy harbor, there wasn't much opportunity for actual sailing. If you really want to sail, do more research than I did.
The boat was stunning, and the captain and crew were highly skilled and well-informed. We gained insights into the local history and the community's friendly reputation. We will certainly come back for another visit.
This was a wonderful experience out on the boat in the sunshine. The ride was lovely, and our knowledgeable guide provided thorough explanations about everything.
We enjoyed a lovely cruise around the harbor with a friendly and knowledgeable crew. The weather was ideal for sailing and made for a wonderful outdoor experience.
I had a fantastic day! The captain and mate were both friendly and well-informed. Raising and lowering the sail was stunning to watch, and the ride itself was very soothing.
We had a fantastic and leisurely boat trip. Despite the calm weather, the crew provided an excellent tour of the Halifax area, responded to our inquiries, and made the ride enjoyable. They even suggested a fantastic, lesser-known restaurant. It was a wonderful experience that we wholeheartedly recommend.
The tall ship, a schooner, was initially scheduled for 10:00 but was rescheduled to 11:30 without prior notification, which cut into the available time I had that afternoon before the ship's departure. Although the sail was briefly unfurled for a photo opportunity, the experience mostly felt like a motorboat tour of the bay. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating, but they did not arrive at the pier until around 11:00.
This was a delightful short trip on a small sailboat with just 10 passengers, which made it an ideal experience. The captain and first mate were excellent. They provided gloves and blankets if needed, and offered wine and beer for a small cost. Overall, it was a lovely hour spent exploring the bay.
The tour offered a wealth of information. Finn and Jack were excellent guides. The boat itself was impressive, and the harbor was beautiful. We strongly suggest taking this tour.
