Experience Canadas largest inland sea as you join Captain Kerr on Cu Na Mara (Hound of the Sea in Gaelic) for a personalized day-sailing adventure on the Bras dOr Lake in Cape Breton.

Set sail from St. Peters on part of the UNESCO Bras dOr Lake BioSphere Reserve. Your captain, Gordon Kerr, will teach you the ropes of sailing and give you a chance to try it for yourself, if you wish. This adventure departs from the lake side of the St. Peters Canal National Historic Site, a historic locks system that connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Bras dOr Lake.
The Bras dOr Lake, an inland sea of part-fresh and part-salt water, is home to a variety of sea life and birds such as bald eagles and the great blue heron. For the full-day adventure, we can sail by Chapel Island National Historic Site, site of one of the first contacts between the Mi’kmaq nation and the Europeans.
The Bras dOr Lake has a great reputation for being one of the greatest sailing destinations of the world. With its sheltered waters, summer water temperatures averaging 7579°F (2426°C), southwest prevailing winds, and fog-free water, you can see why the Bras dOr Lake has acquired such a reputation.
