Description

Experience golden hour, that magical time of night when the sun makes its way below the horizon, on the Halifax Sunset Cruise aboard our signature ship, the Tall Ship Silva. Purchase wine, beer, cocktails, and other beverages from our onboard bar before you set off from Cable Wharf, cruise past historic Georges Island, and make your way towards Maugher Beach and the iconic McNabs Island lighthouse. If conditions are favorable, you’ll be invited to help raise the sails before the Silva circles back for a cruise alongside the stunning Halifax Waterfront.

Halifax Sunset Cruise Ft. a Live Musician

Smooth sail around the Harbour on a lovely evening was very enjoyable. Good variety of drinks at the bar and the highlight was the live music in my opinion. There was a very talented singer that also played the guitar and harmonica.

Good music and beautiful sunset. Finding the boat and place to park should be spelled out more clearly.

Would sail the seas again!

Excellent, it is much colder out on the water, wish I brought a touque and gloves. Music was amazing, and I suggest getting the full experience by becoming an honorary crewmember like my partner and I. Crewmembers H. R. and R. M. signing off from the HMCS Silva 🫡.

Sunset cruise lots a fun

It was so exciting to see the crew put up the sails. The musician played great contemporary music. We tipped him. The bar was busy and everyone became friendlier after a glass or two. Also, the gangplank is a bit steep after a glass or two. The pier is easy to find and there are nice restaurants all around for dinner afterward.
