About
Chinese Junk Boats were first built in the second century (circa 200 AD) but flourished during the Song and Ming Dynasties.During the Ming Dynasty, under the capable leadership of Admiral Zheng He, the world became much smaller as foreign lands were peacefully discovered and merchant trade established. The Chinese junk proved to be the greatest ship design the world had ever known.

It was the highlight of our Canadian cruise. A unique experience and very informative. The beautiful singer in native costume had a wonderful voice and added to our pleasure. The owner's wife was so happy to share bits and pieces of her culture including painting a little good luck sign in her language for anyone who wanted one. It happened to be a beautiful Indian summer day and Monte and the captain were fun to be with.

What an amazing experience, like nothing else we have ever done. This was fun, educational and just all around wonderful. Not only did we enjoy the sailing, but we learned all sorts of history and sampled wonderful Chinese snacks and tea. Monty, Daniella and their daughter were wonderful hosts. In fact their daughter even entertained us with Irish dancing, Chinese singing and playing a fantastic instrument. Don’t bother doing the oyster shucking, this trip is a must!

It was a very unique evening. Very interesting and tasty! Hospitality plus! We had the pleasure of hearing their 7 year old daughter sing beautifully and their daughter’s friend play a unique instrument called a guzheng. I’m so glad we had opportunity to experience an evening aboard the Chinese Junk Boat!

My family had the honor to enjoy an incredible ride in Hai Long and tour Charlottetown Harbour this summer. The restoration of the boat was absolutely lovely and amazing! We were very touched by the owner’s story and the Chinese history that was told on board. It was very educational for our two boys to experience firsthand what passion can be translated into real life commitment, as shown in the owner’s manifestation. It is definitely a privilege to experience this memorable adventure with the owner and his beautiful family. Highly recommend to anyone who will visit Charlottetown Harbour. I know my family will return soon!

It always pleases us very much when people take the time to write such nice things! The restoration of the vessel took an inordinate amount of time, particularly the process required to make her a modern, safe vessel, and compliant to Transport Canada regulations. Your kind words will never be forgotten... Xie xie and come back soon!

Terrific evening with this Junk Boat Crew! Thanks so much for a wonderful sail around the Charlottetown harbour. Really loved Captain Shan Long's stories about how he got this beautiful junk boat; loved the little temple to the Sea Goddess( Ma Zhu); and especially loved meeting the Captain and his wonderful wife and co-pilot, Daniela. Happy Sailing and Happy Thanksgiving. Wishing you great success in the future.

On behalf of my China dolls and myself, we wish you all the best in your travels in life and invite you to make Hai Long a regular stop along the way!

What a fun thing to do in Charlottetown! We took the sunset dinner cruise. Monte and Dani are super nice and The on-board entertainment couldn't have been cuter (their daughter). I'd highly recommend this adventure if you're in Charlottetown.

Wow... our first TripAdvisor review, how exciting for us! Thank you Steve and Anita, we truly enjoyed your company and glad that you enjoyed yourselves, please come back and visit us sometime. We concur with your thoughts about little Dominica... we love her dearly and even at 6 years old, she exemplifies all that is great about China!

I had no idea what to expect when booking this tour, and if I were to do the cruise over again I would book fewer tours—but this is one I would keep. A very unique experience for Charlottetown! The owners are friendly and knowledgeable. This is a piece of history.

When people ask me what I do, my standard answer is "we sell the unexpected"! I guess your response here underscores that fact. Nobody ever made a trip to Charlottetown to learn more about Chinese culture than they ever knew before, and we feel honoured to have the opportunity to do so in an entertaining fashion to an appreciative audience. Thank YOU for the opportunity to savour in the experience together!
