Your Group, Your Experience
Halifax is a city best experienced from the water and a private sailing tour or boat charter gives your group the freedom to experience the Halifax Harbour your way. If you're planning a corporate gathering, family celebration, group outing or special event, Ambassatours Gray Line can help turn time on the water into an experience designed around your occasion.
Our private harbour tours offer an alternative to traditional event spaces, combining some of Halifax’s most recognizable waterfront views with the atmosphere of being out on the harbour. Depending on your group size and the experience you have in mind, our Group Sales team can help you explore vessel options, onboard experiences and opportunities to customize your charter. Ambassatours Gray Line operates a fleet of vessels from the Halifax Waterfront, with private charter options suited to everything from relaxed sailing experiences to larger social and corporate events. For corporate planners comparing harbour cruise companies that offer private charters for groups in Canada, our Halifax-based team can help match the right experience to your event, guest count and objectives.
Whatever brings your group together, leave the everyday venue behind and make Halifax Harbour part of the experience.
