⛵🇨🇦🍁 A Wonderful Thanksgiving Sailing in Halifax! ⛵🇨🇦🍁 We had a great time sailing with Sail Halifax on Thanksgiving evening! David and his crew were super friendly, welcoming, and accommodating. Our family of 8, along with our little dog Shiroi, really enjoyed the beautiful harbour views, drinks, snacks, and relaxed atmosphere. Such a fun and memorable way to spend Thanksgiving together. Definitely a highlight of our Halifax trip! Thanks again, David and team! Highly recommended!Posted on Google

Dave and the crew at Sail Halifax gave us an amazing evening sailing around downtown Halifax and the Northwest Arm. Sailing in October was great way to see the foliage and the boat has a warm cabin if you need to warm up on the shoulder seasons. Dave was very hospitable and knowledgeable of the history of Halifax and surrounding area. Highly recommend booking a trip with Family/Friends !Posted on Google

An amazing experience with Sail Halifax! The boat is beautiful, and skipper David is friendly, skilled, and a wealth of local knowledge. His stories and insights into Halifax’s history made the sail even more memorable.

Highly reccomend Sail Halifax if you are looking to get out on the water in Halifax. Owners David and Derrick clearly love Halifax, Nova Scotia, and sailing and they made sure our experience was perfect. I am so glad we booked with Sail Halifax instead of one of the busy tour boat options. Sailing with Sail Halifax should be on everyone's Halifax Bucket List.Posted on Google

Dave and Derek were amazing Captains and Hosts. The vessel was in perfect condition and they handled it with care and expertise. Life long Nova Scotians, they knew every nook and cranny and had a historical anecdote for all of them. If you visit Halifax and have a few free hours, book these guys. Absolutely delightful time spent on the water with them. 10/10

“We had an amazing sailing tour with Sail Halifax this spring! I brought some family visiting from Ontario, and they were absolutely blown away by the experience of sailing around Halifax Harbour. Seeing downtown Halifax from the water on a beautiful sailboat was truly unforgettable. No better way to see Nova Scotia’s stunning Atlantic Coastline!”
