Best ship best crew best day
This was one of the most beautiful comfortable tours. It was fun to watch some of the guests help raise the sale. The staff was outrageously. Wonderful helped us into the way was very friendly. Did some history on board. I highly recommend cruising with this company.

Disappointed
The crew was very friendly. The song was cute. The Canon was cool.
It's not a sailing experience.
They let people help raise one sail and the crew raises another. The ship has 6
The whole time we were on engine power.
We motored to the end of the island to the edge of the lake, but didn't go on the lake at all. There was 11mph winds. if they raised all the sails we could have sailed by wind
Don't think they ever raise any more than the two sails.
Sang one shanty that was nice, and they gave a 2 minute history of the boat
Would have been nice if the gave a history of the city or some of the buildings.

Great Sailing Experience and Fantastic Lake Scenery
This was an excellent sailing adventure and site seeing excursion. Tge ship is beautiful and the crew is friendly and fun. We toured out into the lake and had great views of Toronto and the harbor. We enjoyed the cruise and took many fantastic pictures.

We didn’t actually leave at 7:30pm so that’s something to note if you’re doing this.
Otherwise, it was a very lovely cruise. We loved it

Interesting ship, great...
Interesting ship, great views of Toronto and the islands, pleasant crew and office staff. We needed to changie our time and had no problems at all 😊.
Great Lakes schooner Company emailed to me excellent directions and a great map of their location!
This additional information was very important as the information on the Viator site appears to be incorrect. Viator directions brought us to the backside of their office rather than the kiosk for check-in.
As mentioned the views were great, and being on the lake was a delight We would’ve welcomed some commentary about what we were seeing in terms of landmarks - however, there was none.
Overall, worth the time and resources

Disappointment
I went on the Kajama July 2025, loved it, and again yesterday.
It was fantastic last year but yesterday was a big let down.
My friend and I are in wheelchairs.
1. Why are there not 2 ramps? This makes no sense. Are disabled people not given priority boarding? There were probably at least 5 wheelchairs.
2. Could not hear anytime there was an announcement. So, no history of the boat, no info re: safety, nothing. I asked about this and was told they knew and were fixing it. It wasn't.
3. At end of sail, my friend (wheelchair) went down the ramp. I was next. Then others pushed their way in front of me to exit.
This actually made me feel like a third class citizen. I felt disrespected. Staff did nothing about this.
4.Music playing during the sail. Listening to the Rolling Stones is great any other time, but it spoiled the vibe of a sail on the water.
5. Last year it looked like so much fun when members of the public were invited to assist with ropes/sails. It didn't happen yesterday.
I come from a family of boaters. My brother is a well known retired ship captain in Toronto and B.C. Other family have worked on the Challenge and Empire Sandy in years past.
Sadly, I will not be sailing on the Kajama again.
