It’s a smaller boat. Holds only 10 people. Our guide Alex was great. He pointed out all of the highlights and told us about water conditions. It was a very pleasant hour
Bonjour, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re glad you enjoyed the intimate small-group experience and had a pleasant hour on the water. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Alex. Au plaisir
My partner and I did not really know what to expect but were satisfied with the service we paid for. It was enjoyable and we got lucky that the bunch we were with were also a great time (I feel like this can make or break your experience). My only suggestion though is maybe getting a microphone for the person doing the tour as being in the water was kind of difficult to hear. Overall great experience.
Bonjour, Thank you for your great review! We’re happy to hear that you and your partner enjoyed the experience and the atmosphere with the other guests. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding a microphone.

Bonjour Homero, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you enjoyed the beautiful views, relaxing atmosphere, and service aboard the boat. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable experience in Montreal! Au plaisir
Terrible. Booked the boat tour a week in advance for my birthday and last day in Montreal. Paid. Booking was cancelled morning of the boat trip saying they oversold. This totally ruined my birthday plan. I could have chosen a different excursion had it been cancelled earlier OR said SOLD OUT when I bought my ticket. Ridiculous
Bonjour, We are sincerely sorry that your reservation had to be cancelled, especially since it was planned for your birthday and your final day in Montreal. Unfortunately, the third-party booking platform was not connected in real time with our reservation system, which resulted in the activity being oversold. We contacted you as soon as we identified the issue, approximately 12 hours before departure, but we fully understand that this still left you with very little time to make alternative plans. We apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience caused. The system integration is currently being corrected to prevent this situation from happening again. Au plaisir
We loved the sunset boat ride. Our boat driver/guide was very informative and the scenery was breathtaking.
Bonjour Cindy, Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re delighted that you loved the sunset boat ride and enjoyed the captain’s commentary and the breathtaking scenery. We hope to welcome you aboard again soon! Au plaisir
I had a mixed experience. Booking: First, the time slot in my confirmed ticket was already sold out. So the tour operator contacted me to schedule another time. This hiccup was blamed on an unnamed "third party." This was unprofessional, not to mention what would happen when I have an official ticket for the wrong tour. Boarding: Second, the location was vague. It was simply "the pier with the jet skis." When I showed up 15 minutes before departure there were 3 other cruise boats there, none of them the correct one. There was no personnel to direct me. When I called the "emergency" number I was then waved down (by a non-uniformed employee) and shown the right boat which had just shown up 8 minutes before departure. The company personnel had suddenly appeared as well. Cruise: I was expecting narration but got (over the course of an hour) maybe 3 or 4 interesting facts screamed over a very loud motor. It was hard to decipher over the accent. There was more marketing of the other services and tours the company offers. Despite the above, I still rate this 4 stars because of the captain. I couldn't understand him half the time (the motor drowned out his voice) and he spent maybe 10 minutes saying anything at all. But he knew how to give us all a memorable experience. Just his piloting skills and his general attitude were enough to overcome all the bad experiences up to that point.
Bonjour, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We appreciate you bringing these points to our attention. We are working on improving our arrival instructions, coordination at the dock, and onboard communication so the experience is smoother and easier for our guests. We’re glad to hear that, despite these issues, the captain’s attitude and piloting skills helped make the tour memorable for you. Thank you again for your honest review and for still rating the experience 4 stars. Au plaisir
