May 10, 2017

As a former partner in the Halifax tour business Ambassatours and Murphy’s at the Cable Wharf, Jeff Farwell has broad experience in providing tourists and locals with great options for seeing the sights both on the water and off. Joined by his brother Jordan Jeff’s new venture is to provide customised sailing tours that offer something not available on larger tour boats such as the SV Silva. Their boat is a brand new BeneteauOceanis 45 which will provide all the comfort and speed expected from this type of boat.

The tours will range from a 90-minute harbour cruise, to an all-day trip to the isolated, and very beautiful, anchorage at Rogues Roost near Prospect. A visit to their web site gives an idea of the variety of cruises on offer, including a wine& cheese sunset sail. The company will accommodate special requests.

Ambassatours will be handling bookings on the waterfront or you can book online.

Since then we’ve repowered, installed Starlink, and retired from work. Now, with confidence in our engine and our connectivity and more time to sail, we were Superior-ready.
