Sail Lunenburg

Set your course for a Nova Scotia sailing adventure. The Eastern Star, a classic, 48 foot wooden ketch awaits your command.

Sail the same majestic waves as the proud schooner ' The Bluenose ' and explore the harbour of historic Lunenburg. Whether you want to discover the sea caves of the famous Oven Natural Park, join us on an Eco or Harbour Tour, take in one of our Harbour Cruises, or bask in the sun and soak in the beauty that surrounds you - it's your vacation - it's your choice.

Look to Star Charters...for a truly, authentic, Maritime, sailing adventure, boat tour or charter from the historic waterfront at Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.

The one-and-half-hour day cruise or sailing tour begins at the Lunenburg, Nova Scotia waterfront, a bustling section of the old town comprised of well kept Georgian homes, The Fisheries Museum of the Atlantic, the government wharf, cozy restaurants, unique shops, pubs and accommodation establishments.

Our 48-foot wooden ketch, the Eastern Star leaves the government wharf in Lunenburg five times daily. Our berth is not far from the famous schooner, 'Bluenose II', built in Lunenburg in 1962.

The wind provides the power for our classic sailboat. Its motor off! With a little instruction from the crew, it's time for select passengers to raise a few sails, take the helm and feel the powerful allure of the wind and sea.

Lunenburg Bay is beautiful, with the brightly painted buildings of the old town providing the perfect backdrop. There never seems to be enough time to absorb it all, so plan on staying a couple of days and join us at the Sail Inn.

There are lighthouses to photograph and porpoises and seals on hand to entertain the passengers and crew. Nearing the shoreline, the Eastern Star sails by the old Smith and Ruland shipyard, birthplace of Canada's legendary racing schooner, Bluenose and Bluenose II, and the tall ships, the Bounty and the Rose.

Further on, the crew tacks close to a group of large factory ships from the Lunenburg scallop fleet and passes the second largest fish processing plant in the world. On the daily, two hour Sunset Tour (7 p.m. July and August; call or e-mail for June, September, October schedules) passengers will discover the unusual sea caves of the Ovens Natural Park and explore the delightful fishing village of Blue Rocks.

If Star Charters' Day and Sunset Tours are not quite what you'll looking for, consider a private charter. The Eastern Star can be reserved for private functions, family, business, group and school outings for as little as $268 for 30 people.
