Sailing CBI Reviews

  The Bras d’Or Lakes are absolutely stunning and not to be missed when visiting Cape Breton Island! My family and I have explored and driven around the lakes many times... read more in the past, but had a completely amazing and unique adventure sailing across the lakes with Paul and his crew! We toured the lakes, picnicked on the boat, stopped for a swim in a little cove, and learned about the unique geography and landscape of the Bras d’Or Lakes. Thank you!... We had an incredible time!!

We will never forget the young, experienced and charming Captain Jamie and his first mate, who entertained hosted and explained. We sailed the renowned and pristine Bras d'or Lake during the days and dropped anchor in Baddeck for the night.

Our favourite part was finding a protected little cove with white limestone shore formations where we dropped anchor and swam in the warm calm water. Idyllic. A bald eagle was resting in a tree on shore and let us get to within 50 feet of him before flying off over our heads as we swam. We could hear and feel the swish of his wings! Magical.

It costs more than the Holiday Inn ... Hehe! ... but the experience is priceless.

  My sisters and I ( six of us) had a wonderful adventure aboard the Cape Bretoner 1 catamaran on the inland sea, the B'ras D'Or, on a three-day cruise.

There was plenty of space for all of us to leisure in the sun and breeze: on the trampoline netting, up front, or sitting on the front deck, or under the shade of the back deck with comfortable padded seating and a large table. The kitchen had all the amenities including a stove top, three large fridge drawers, one large freezer drawer, and a good-sized counter on which to work or serve food. A kitchen table with bench seating was also convenient for extra space and comfort.

Having three double beds and two full bathrooms afforded a next luxury for six women on a three-day cruise.

Our crew, Paul and Jamie, were very accommodating to what we wanted to do and where we wanted to explore. They provided lots of helpful and interesting information along the way.

We experienced sailing on the sparkling expanse of the beautiful, salt water of the B'ras D'Or, the catamaran smoothly cutting through the waves, and playfully splashing the sun-soaked deck.

We breakfasted, dined, swam and relaxed in calm, sun-drenched coves. Comforted by the shelter of our dry and cozy kitchen and deck, we leisurely pieced together our jigsaw puzzle to the rumbling of thunder and pattering oF rain.

Crusing aboard the Cape Bretoner 1... Awesome!!

The catamaran is spacious and well appointed, the ride was quiet and weather excellent for sailing... as Baddeck is known for.
