Pirate Cruises

Step back in time aboard our wooden tall ship the Mar for an authentic Halifax sailing experience. Join our Pirate Captain and his crew of outlaws and see where the wind takes you. Passengers have the opportunity to help hoist the sails, steer the wheel, and help the crew count down to the firing of the cannon. Fun for adults and children alike!

Afternoon Sailing Cruise

Come aboard the Mar for a beautiful afternoon sail around the waters of Halifax Harbour. Enjoy a drink or two as you glide through the water.

Cocktail Cruise

Sunset Cruise

Get the best of both worlds; begin your sailing adventure in the beautiful summer sun over Halifax Harbour, watch the sun set over Halifax harbour, and experience the city lights at night from the water.
