Ever wonder what it would be like to crew on a Tall Ship for a day. 

We offer you the chance to become a crew member on Nova Scotia’s Tall Ship BLUENOSE II for a day. 

Sign-on at 0900 at the Bluenose II Company Store and leave Lunenburg Harbour to sail to Mahone Bay for the day. Returning at 1800 to sign-off. 

While sailing the beautiful islands around Mahone Bay you will take your turn at the wheel, learn knots and splicing. Learn how to properly anchor a 300-ton schooner. You will stand watch, keep a look-out and handle sail with the regular crew. Lunch with the rest of your shipmates. 

Before departure you will be given a safety orientation and a brief talk about the history of BLUENOSE by the Crew..

Maximum day crew is limited to 12 adults (must be 16 or older) and the cost is $499 all taxes and fees included.

Please include your jacket & t-shirt size i.e. S,M.L.XL, XXL. You will be given these items.
