Halifax Rise and Sail
Unleash your inner sailor with this thrilling sailing tour, where the voyage is more than a journey-it's an active exploration of Halifax's famed maritime waters.
Are you craving adventure and don't want to deal with another overcrowded bus tour? Look no further! Get ready to dive into the world of sailing under the direction of an experienced deck crew.
You'll learn to sail the high seas through hands-on experiences like setting the course, gybing, tacking, and winch operation. Halifax is a sailor's dream, offering everything a yachting heart desires: an intoxicating blend cultural urban centers, unspoiled wilderness beauty, and the opportunity to freely navigate uninhibited bays.
If you're more interested in just soaking in the sights, you can sit back and relax as you set sail on a magnificent 45-foot sailboat with plush seating, open bow areas for relaxation, and convenient onboard bathrooms. Let our seasoned guides share their passion as they lead you through Halifax's waters, offering a true taste of sailing's charm.
This family-friendly tour is a great introduction - or, reintroduction - to the exciting world of sailing. As an added delight, kids can carry home their very own Official Crew Member certificates, commemorating an adventure they'll treasure. Come join us for an off-the-beaten-path shore excursion that you will fondly remember.
