Adventure Sail was Awesome

Short walk from Pier 22 where our ship was docked. Great time at sea. Very competent and companionable captain and crew.

Great time learning to sail!

Great experience with perfect weather. We got to drive the boat and pull in the sails! Learned a lot about sailing and would definitely do it again.

Just the right amount of people per trip for the right size of the yatch. You may even have a chance to steer the boat!

Great views of St. George’s, McNab Islands, as well as Point Pleasant and Port.

Ryan and Ali were fantastic. They were very engaging and seemed like they had a genuinely good time entertaining us guests. If you’ve never sailed before, this is a great way to get a feel for it. The crew was very knowledgeable despite their young age, as they have a long history with sailing/boating and Nova Scotia. Did not travel towards the narrows/Bedford Basin on this outing, but I do not fault the crew or J Farwell Sailing Tours, this may have been a result of traffic, time allotment and wind conditions. If it’s your first time, ask an agent or your crew about the planned route and if there are multiple different routes they take.

Don't miss this - especially if you have kids!

Sailing experience not to be missed! Ryan and Colin were fantastic. The boat offered a stunning view of Nova Scotia. Our kids learned so much and were able to do a ton of the sailing tasks. The captain and the assistant captain were fun, knowledgeable, and really let us get involved.

Amazing evening with friends

Ryan and Ali were absolutely amazing. We loved our evening. Ask for Captain Ryan if you go. We did the evening wine and cheese and it was exceptional. Well worth the money.

We had a very nice time on our sailing tour. The skipper and deck staff were both very friendly and gave us a nice introduction to sailing. The equipment on board was nice and modern. It was easy to get on and off the sailboat. Everything was great.
