Excellent captain and perfect family experience

Our captain was incredibly friendly and accommodating, especially when our 19-month-old had a meltdown. He stayed calm, patient, and kind, which made all the difference. The ride itself was beautiful and relaxing — a perfect way to see Montreal from the water. Highly recommend.

Arranging team

Unfortunately we had to cancel the reservation due to very bad weather. The We Set MTL team was very available and accessible to watch the weather with us. In the end, very accommodating, they offered to move or cancel without charge. Thank you for your very commercial support!

Great Family Event

Great experience. Learned a lot and enjoyed each dish. My favorite was the tomato salad. The sauce is something we use again an and again. Wines were fabulous! Everyone in the group said it was one of the highlights of the week in Montreal.

Later on on the same day july 16 2025 i receive an ameail that i cannot go on sunday it is already booked ( but not when i booked actually it shows that every day is available so there must be a problem with their booking platform and in the message i am asked if i can go on saturday at 4 pm and i respond no because my friend is cojming from ottawa for this on sunday howver we could go at 2 pm or 12 pm , so recently i have received another email that i can go between 10 and 2 so i asked again by email for 2 pm , waiting for response , i now imagine between 10 and 2 means not at 2 pm but maybe at 12 , i also receive 3 vocie messages while i was at work to tell me to call pierre lom... at 514... 388 or 386 hard to hear him because it wont work foir the 17 th , so i tried to rebook after they officialed canceled my booking and beleive it or not you can stilll book on august 17 2025 at 4pm but now the price is even lower $394.62 i printed my reservation with the price , listen people im so sick of beeing scammed and that my time is wasted shame on you pierre

Cher monsieur, Si vous êtes qui je pense, j'ai tenté de vous joindre par téléphone à au moins trois reprises. En ce qui concerne les difficultés invoquées pour me joindre, celles-ci sont irrecevables tout simplement parce que j'utilise mon téléphone personnel pour travailler et que celui-ci est ouvert 24/7. Mais je n'ai jamais eu la chance de parler avec vous directement. Boîte vocale! Aucun retour d'appel... Pour conclure vos insultes sont toutes aussi vexantes qu'inutiles monsieur. J'ai au contraire la réputation d'être très à l'écoute des besoins de mes clients. Le nombre de commentaires le démontrent clairement. En espérant que nous aurons l'occasion de travailler ensemble pour une prochaine occasion ... Pierre
