Working, not relaxing

Natalie_W, Sept 2026
Please understand what you’re booking to make sure this is what you want. The description of the activity said “ Enjoy a relaxing three-hour yacht cruise around Toronto’s islands in Lake Ontario, admiring the city views along the way. You can choose to sit back and relax on the beanbags on deck, or to take the helm and have a go at steering the yacht yourself.” This is not accurate. There were five of us wedged hip to hip on the benches. There are no bean bags on deck. You will be helping sail or at the very least regularly moving to avoid getting hit with the boom and to balance the weight of the boat. It was a windy day and one passenger was throwing up over the side of the boat. The skipper was shouting at the poor woman trying to steer while he brought the sail back in and she was almost in tears. He kept using sailing terminology she didn’t understand. If you’re trying to learn to sail this may be for you but if you want a relaxing harbor cruise, this isn’t it. I was so glad when it was over.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm genuinely sorry that your sailing adventure did not meet your expectations. We recently discovered that changes to Viator's automated experience descriptions resulted in some of our listings incorrectly describing a different experience from the one being purchased. In your case, the description reflected a relaxing sail aboard one of our larger cruising yachts rather than the more active, hands-on sailing experience aboard a smaller sport yacht. I completely understand your disappointment, and sincerely apologize for this misrepresentation. I'm also concerned by your comments regarding the skipper's communication and the comfort of guests aboard. While sailing in stronger winds can be an active experience, every guest should feel comfortable, supported and encouraged, regardless of their sailing experience. Your feedback is important, and we take these concerns seriously. Customer reviews play an essential role in helping people make informed purchasing decisions, and when an experience is not delivered as advertised, customers absolutely should speak up. However, in this instance, the inaccurate description resulted from Viator's automated changes rather than changes made by Gone Sailing Adventures. The listing has since been corrected, and we hope you might consider updating your review to reflect this additional information while preserving your honest assessment of the experience. We have reached out to you directly in the hope of discussing your concerns and finding a satisfactory resolution. We genuinely value your feedback and the opportunity to improve. Our goal has always been to provide safe, enjoyable and memorable sailing experiences, and we hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in Gone Sailing Adventures.

By far one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had. Bucket List activity/outing crossed off the list. Crew were the best!
