Our Thanks for a Wonderful Season!

Our 2025 Season is winding down (but still going), we wanted to thank our visitors for a fantastic year!

The Bluenose II Company Store is the official (and only) retailer for Bluenose II branded merchandise. We are a not for profit organization - The proceeds of our retail sales help to offset the operational costs of our beloved schooner. We are always thankful to our visitors, near and far, for the support you show us each and every season. This season (from May until October), we processed over 15,000 retail transactions, with over 30,000 items sold. Amazing! 

In addition to manning the retail store, our Shore Crew Associates are also the first point of contact for the Bluenose II. We have spoken to thousands of people this season  (through email and telephone communications), the interest that people have for our ship never ceases to amaze us! We also welcomed, checked in and assisting boarding over 6,000 passengers who came out for a sail with us (releasing and securing the vessel over 100 times on the wharf). It never gets dull - We share the enthusiasm and excitement that our visitors and passengers have for the Bluenose II!  

We hope that you enjoyed your experience with us, both in our store and on our vessel. Many express the sentiment that sailing on the Bluenose II is a "bucket list" experience; We are happy to have been a small part of it!

The Bluenose II Company Store is still open for business. We will reduce our hours in November and December to Saturday, Sunday and Monday from 12 - 5 PM before closing from January to May. Our online store is always open, with curb-side pickup and delivery options available.

Our 2026 sailing schedule is currently in the planning stage. We hope to have it finalized and approved by March, 2026.
