About this activity
Once you board the Tall Ship Silva, our crew will brief you on the safety rules and procedures before we set sail in the beautiful Halifax Harbour. Relax and enjoy our fully stocked bar as our Captains and crew get us out on the water. You will cruise down to the bridge and up past George's Island while the Crew tells stories and the history behind both the Tall Ship Silva and the Halifax Harbour which is the reason Nova Scotia's capital city is located where it is. Nova Scotia has a rich sailing history, and your crew will be happy to share their knowledge and experience with you. Some prefer to sit back and enjoy the sights and views on a beautiful day, while others choose to assist the crew in raising and lowering our sails. Our large and comfortable vessel has more than enough space for everyone to enjoy the experience they are looking for. The Tall Ship Silva is a perfect way to experience Halifax the way it is best known for: the water with salt in the air. The views of the city from the water make for perfect photo opportunities for you to remember your trip, and your crew will be more than happy to assist in taking pictures. You do not want to visit Halifax without getting out to enjoy the water with the friendly and knowledgeable crew on the Tall Ship Silva!

The entire family enjoyed their time aboard the Tall Ship Silva. The crew was really awesome. I strongly recommend this.
Great cruise. Staff were super friendly and knowledgable. The ship was beautiful and historic. Seating was not particularly comfortable, but we still had a great experience. Would definitely recommend this tall ship!
The sightseeing was lovely, but the tour description states that the crew gives history and other commentary which did not happen on our trip - which was disappointing. We were given a half-hearted spiel on where the life jackets and boats were to be found in case of emergency and that the bar was open. The best part, other than the sightseeing, was the crew allowed guests to help raise the sails. Otherwise, I felt like we were more of a bother to the crew and that they would rather be elsewhere maybe because it was the 4:30 cruise and we were a small group.
Thoroughly enjoyed this tour. The captain and his crew were friendly, engaging and very knowledgeable. Would do it again in a heart beat.
