Fantastic way to see the sunset and tour the river. Great info from Captain CT and many thanks for showing us a few rare spots in the shallows. Clayton looks even more quaint and inviting from the river.

Beautiful tour! We experienced an amazing sunset and other parts of the thousand islands. A must if you are in the area 🌇
It was a great cruise. It would have been nice if they narrated what you were seeing more on the river. The history of the river should be shared with visitors while on the cruise.
Very nice , wish they told more history on the voyage. It was relaxing.Easy check in. Had a good time.
The sunset cruise was wonderful Brian and captain CT were fantastic. I would recommend this cruise to everyone.

Thank you Margaret for the great review!
The ride was not informative, music from the 90's too loud! Couldn't talk about scenery without shouting. Sunset was beautiful!
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Our Sunset Cruise is not a narrated tour and we are sorry to hear the music was too loud. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the scenery.
My husband and I enjoyed the trip.The captain and guide were very good about explaining the trip and what we were looking at. Yes I would do it again, Love the sunset it was amazing.
The captain and bar tender were amazing! We, complete strangers, all were dancing and singing while enjoying the views. We had a great time. Recommended!
Sunset cruise on the StLawrence. The cruise was noisier than we expected, with an emphasis on drinking, rather than enjoying the tranquility of a beautiful sunset. Given the small size of the boat, there was nowhere to move to avoid the noise (one group of 25+ people, with another 10+ not related). My wife ended up with a headache. We’ve been on sunset cruises in other locations, but would not repeat this one
Beautiful cruise. Would highly recommend it. Staff were great and got some great photos. Price was great too.
No narration to explain what we were experiencing. Without this, the trip was basically a Nice ride down any river. A few comments would have been sufficient. Also the bar was poorly stocked and very limited. My drink was served with very flat tonic water. When returned, bartender was nice but then gave me a warm drink with no ice. Charcuterie birds were promised for purchase but never brought on the boat. Overall disappointing trip. We traveled in the past with this group and were very satisfied. After raving about our previous trip, we were embarrassed that we brought our friends and recommended this tour group. And the tour never really got to the full sunset due to time. Had hoped to see sunsets like in the website picture but captain brought boat back too soon.
Fun hosts, but I’d suggest getting early enough to get a good window seat for viewing. We got stuck sitting in the aisle way and I had to keep standing up and walking to the front or sides to get a clear view. Just a tip if you’re really in it for the views.

The captain was amazing to talk to. He has so much knowledge of the area and is so happy to share what he knows. The sunset views were amazing!

Thank you Joan for the great review!
Delightful evening on the river! Scenery was beautiful! I just wish that there was commentary as we travelled so we knew what we were looking at.
Response from Host, Jul 2025
Thank you for choosing our Sunset Cruise and for the review. The evening cruise is meant to be relaxing with music and sometimes sounds of the river.
The meeting place was easy to locate. Check in was a breeze. The staff on the boat were very friendly. We enjoyed a lovey sunset ride. A great experience for the price.
The Captain was so nice and very knowledgeable of the St. Lawrence. His many years shined throughout the ride.
The staff was excellent, very informative, knowledgeable and funny. Our group had a great time and we are planning on doing the same tour again next year.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
We look forward to welcoming you on board next year! Thank you for the great review.
Sharing this wonderful sunset cruise with my husband and my sister for her Birthday. She is from NJ and thought it was the greatest thing!!!!!!!

Thank you Carolyn for the wonderful review!
The end. This is just an expensive boat ride. No narration. No idea of what we were seeing . Went on earlier tour with start to finish info. This was a major disappointment. 7j
Response from Host, Aug 2024
We are sorry Bruce you did not enjoy the Sunset Cruise, however this cruise is not advertised as having narration. The route is captain's choice, music, and fully licensed bar.
Great weather, and really great value. A 2+ hour scenic tour for $25... can't beat it. Capt Scott and Dennis were great.
Response from Host, Aug 2024
Thank you for the great review and for mentioning Captain Scott and Dennis!

PS. Everyone was very friendly and very welcoming!

It was very good planning, we enjoyed listening to the singer. Everyone was nice and that sunset was amazing. We would differently do it again.

Thank you Tracey for taking our Sunset Cruise! We are happy you enjoyed the experience.
It was a great boat ride and it was relaxing . You can eat on the boat but you can't bring your own alcohol FYI. They sell it on the boat

The weather cooperated and it was just overall very enjoyable, and the captain and bar tender on the boat were nice people.
It was a wonderful experience. The waters were calm, family memories were made.
Our captain and first mate were awesome.
