Incredibile barca a vela a noleggio di un giorno in Nuova Scozia, Canada

A private sailing voyage from St. Peter's to the Atlantic Ocean via the St. Peter's Canal and around Isle Madame. On Isle Madame, there are two ports of call. All hotels and meals are covered.

Sailing adventure in historic waterways. Take command. Control the sails. No Rush II sailed for three days with skipper and crew. 2 nights on Isle Madame at the Clairestone Inn and the Groundswell Inn & Pub Breakfast and supper are served ashore, with picnic lunches served on board. Your party can include up to 6 persons.

This is a hands-on sailing excursion that departs and returns to St. Peter's. A tour of Isle Madame in the Atlantic seas of St. Peter's Bay, Lennox Passage, and Chedabucto Bay is one of the highlights. Take the helm, handle the sails, assist with navigation, or simply sit back and enjoy. You will get up close and personal with the sea in the beautiful coastal waters of southern Cape Breton.

Set sail from St. Peter's on the Bras d'Or Lake into the Atlantic Ocean for a voyage around the legendary Isle Madame. We'll begin the day with a trip via the historic tidal lock canal before heading to Arichat, the shiretown of this Acadian Island and our overnight destination. With rooms and breakfast at the Clairestone Inn, you may enjoy a full-course supper at the Island Nest. There is a shuttle service between our dock and the Inn.

We'll continue our tour westward, leaving Arichat Harbour and travelling north and east through Lennox Passage. This is a lovely coast trip in the seas between Isle Madame and Cape Breton. We'll also pass the lift bridge at Burnt Island, where a causeway unites the islands. We'll dock at d'Escousse, and you'll check into The Groundswell, which is just a short walk from the town quay, for supper and overnight lodgings.

We'll leave d'Escousse Harbour at your leisure for some ocean sailing, and depending on the weather and your preferences, we'll return to the lake early enough to explore St. Peter's inlet and perhaps bathe in the warmer waters here. You will return to our home port in the late afternoon.

You'll be sailing on a freshly renovated classic Canadian cruising sloop with plenty of character and modern comforts to ensure your sailing vacation is safe and enjoyable.

Our sailboat is a Niagara 35 sailing yacht designed by acclaimed marine architect Mark Ellis and constructed in 1980 by the iconic Canadian boatbuilder Hinterhoeller. She is one of 260 hulls manufactured in this type between 1978 and 1990. The Niagara 35 was designed as a passage-making yacht, built to the highest industry standards, and has proved to have accomplished Ellis' idea of '...building boats for longevity in the way they pleasure the eye and their durability in usage' for over four decades.

She likes to sail at 6 knots in our regular summer breezes and can maintain 7 knots or more when the wind picks up to 15 knots. She tracks readily, responds to the helm, and steers herself easily in a variety of situations. Tacking and jibing are a breeze because to the doubled mainsheet system and large self tailing winches for the foresail.

Captain and a crew of expert consultants and assistants have meticulously repaired and refitted it to near-new condition over the last 5 years. Upgrades for the twenty-first century include a solar-powered electrical system, electronic navigation instruments, refrigeration, LED lighting, new wiring and plumbing, a new diesel auxiliary engine, and other features.... Fresh rigging and canvas, new interior finishes and upholstery, warm air heating for the shoulder seasons, hot and cold running water, a well-equipped kitchen, and a private head are all standard features. It offers spacious accommodations for day sailing with up to six passengers or live-aboard for four. Both the vessel and the master have been approved in accordance with Transport Canada Small Vessel standards.

She is crewed and outfitted for day sails and multi-day expeditions on the Bras d'Or Lake and Cape Breton's coastal waterways.
