    Went out for a staff outing with the crew from Fitness Fx!! Rochelle and Karl were extremely polite and attentive to all on board!! Would highly recommend to those looking for a great time on the water with your friends and the great staff/owners of City Harbour Cruises!!

    My work crew and I Went on an hour cruise this past weekend with Carl and he was absolutely amazing! He was very friendly and super knowledgeable about his city. He taught us a lot about the hisotry of Halifax and its harbour. He even showed us some fun Nova Scotian music and dance moves :) The cruise was the highlight of our work trip (we were visiting for the weekend from Vancouver BC). Highly recommended!

    We went for a one hour cruise on a beautiful sunny day. Super comfy seating and a bar made it a first class experience. If you are looking for something special, walk past the kiosk on the dock and find City Harbour Cruises on the pier. Carl will not disappoint with his knowledge of the Harbour and attention to his guests comfort and safety - 5 stars.

    We booked this for an hour sunset cruise with the family and had an excellent time! Karl and Rochelle are amazing people and knowledgeable about the history of the harbour. We recommend this, and hope to come back to do it again!

    Awesome tour & experience! We were celebrating a girls weekend with a cruise around the Harbour. It was a chilly day, but the hosts made our experience such a fun time! Highly recommend City Harbour Cruises, what a great way to see the Halifax Harbour, not to mention it was very reasonable for a private group tour! You will definitely see us again. Thank you!

    Our group had such an amazing time with City Harbour Cruises. It was easy to find on the waterfront, the staff were super friendly and welcoming, the rules/safety instructions were clear and easy to follow. We played our own music and enjoyed the bar. It was a great way to celebrate a friends birthday while enjoying the Halifax views. Overall I would highly recommend!

    Absolutely wonderful cruise with Karl. We are vacationing with our two yellow Labs and really wanted to do a cruise of the harbour in Halifax so we approached Karl and he agreed. A woman from Whitehorse joined us for an almost 2 hour cruise. Beautiful boat in pristine condition, Karl gave us all sorts of great information on what we were seeing, the history and the importance to the area and to Canada. Karl knows his stuff and tailored our tour to what was interesting and unique. We had a great time.

    Had a very nice tour with friends visiting from Ontario! We did a 3 hour tour and got to see the Halifax harbour, the islands, the arm and the Bedford basin. Lots of seating available, they had blankets and a bathroom on board, drinks you can buy at the bar, and they let you play your own music. I would have preferred to tip at the end of our tour after we had experienced the services but was prompted to when I paid upon boarding. Overall a great trip!

    I booked this solo cruise for our 10th Anniversary. I planned it as a sunset cruise (8:30-10:30pm) and it did not disappoint whatsoever. We ran fully west into the Bedford Basin and saw some properties that one wouldn't normally be able to see. And the sunset was amazing. I was able to meet with Karl prior to the cruise to arrange details and special requests. He was excited as I was to see her reaction. Nothing but professional. Boat was just the right size, comfortable with all amenities that you need. Very highly recommend. We loved the privacy of having it all to ourselves, but as a group it would be a fun time on the water. We will book again!
