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.

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
