On Deck
One of Tall Ship Silva's finest features is her wide open deck that accommodates all of her 150 guests in one area with a 360 degree view of Halifax Harbour. Traditional varnished wood seating is placed around the entire deck so guests can sit back, relax and enjoy the sights.

Banquet Room
The inside dining room is ideal for buffet or sit-down dinners. The room is decorated simply yet elegantly with colourful Nova Scotia folk art, classic white linens, cushioned bistro chairs and nautical centre pieces. Designed to suit all events, it has an interchangeable layout, featuring 2 large skylights that allow you to view the sails & stars in the moonlight.

On-Deck Enclosed Pub
A highlight and guest favourite is the "Wheelhouse Pub", with a wide selection of beer, wine, and cocktails and boasting a fine selection of single malt scotches. There is plenty of seating with bar stools, cocktail tables and a comfy cushioned settee surrounding the room.

History
Tall Ship Silva was built in Karlstad, Sweden as a 130' three masted steel schooner. During the first two decades of her life, she was used in the Scandinavian fishing industry, with regular trips to Iceland. In the 1960's Silva was refitted as a bulk freighter, having her sailing rig removed. Silva continued coastal trading until 1994 and remained in Sweden until the summer of 2001 when Canadian Sailing Expeditions bought her and delivered her for the first time, to North America.

She is now completely re-furbished and offers a unique and relaxing atmosphere and is simply the finest charter board Halifax has to offer.
