Sail Halifax

Before Halifax was a city, it was a fortress.

Cannons once lined these shores. Forts stood guard over the harbour. Beneath the waters surrounding McNabs Island lie generations of Atlantic shipwrecks and centuries of Halifax history.

Join us on the McNabs Island Adventure Sail as we follow the historic routes surrounding the island, past old fortifications, hidden shore batteries, and the same waters that once protected Halifax Harbour from the sea.
