Croisière en Tall Ship à Toronto

I enjoyed this trip, particularly as the weather was hot and out on the water. There was a cooling breeze. Guests were invited to help raise main sail (which I did and was rewarded with a drink). There are proper toilets on board and snacks and beverages are available. The crew also signed a sea shanty and let off a small cannon. I don’t know anything about sailing, but I suspect the raising of the main sail was largely for show as it remained parallel to the boat and you could hear the boat engine throughout the trip. They took photographs of guests and for once the photograph was free, additional pictures could be paid for. I was a little disappointed that they printed out all the photographs in this day of digital technology. I discussed this with the photographer and was told the company was not prepared to go to a digital system to allow photographs to be displayed an iPad or similar device and then only the relevant pictures printed. They must go through a heck of a lot of paper and ink during a summer season which is not environmentally friendly.

Beautiful view of the city as you tour the harbour. Relaxing boat cruise. Great for all ages in the family.

It was a beautiful night on the water. The staff were very friendly. We actually sailed which was nice. We learned about the history of the ship. It was really enjoyable.

A fantastically and fun experience. The crew singing the sea shanty was priceless. And I even got a workout by helping to raise the mailsail.

Excellent cruise! Highly recommend.

Sunset cruise was overbooked. We were there on time but when we finally boarded, the deck was full and no seating was available. The crew eventually got out some cheap, flimsy plastic chairs meant for children and ran out of those. The website showed 15 people to a cruise but this trip had to have been nearly a hundred people on board. Other than that, the view of the Toronto skyline was impressive.

This was pleasant but not very interesting hour and a half cruise. There was little description of what we were seeing and not much happening on deck. The crew did raise the mainsail and fire the cannon, which was fun. Be aware, if you’re on board on a warm and sunny afternoon, there’s almost no shade and may not even be much of a breeze. There were some beautiful views of the CN Tower and Toronto skyline.

Was a great time but wished the boat would have went around the Islands and been longer. The music is a bit loud where we sat and next time we will sit farther away from the speakers.

Lovely experience despite less than ideal weather. The crew were all very helpful and encouraged passengers to help raise the sail. The singing of a sea shanty was a highlight.

Amazing views of Toronto, great for pictures and selfies. The kiosk for the tickets is at the coast.
