Deckhand for a Day
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 0800 at the Bluenose II Company Store and leave Lunenburg Harbour to sail to Mahone Bay for the day. Returning at 1800 to sign-off.

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