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.

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.
Response from Host, Aug 2025
We appreciate the five star review!
Debra_P, Jul 2025
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!

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.
Carl_H, Jul 2025
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.
Susan_M, Jul 2025
The Captain was so nice and very knowledgeable of the St. Lawrence. His many years shined throughout the ride.
Rich_P, Sep 2024
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.

Thank you Carolyn for the wonderful review!
Bruce_C, Aug 2024
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.
Liz_F, Aug 2024
Great weather, and really great value. A 2+ hour scenic tour for $25... can't beat it. Capt Scott and Dennis were great.

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 crew was very accommodating.The captain made sure we were in a perfect position to get great sunset photos. The playlist being played was great. Would do it again if in the area again.
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you for the great review and for letting us know you enjoyed the adventure!
Jarrett_G, Jul 2024
The boat ride itself was very relaxing and the views were absolutely beautiful. The sunset was incredible! The few things we weren’t very happy about were the fact that it says on here that you can BYOB, which is very untrue. We had to take our cooler back to the vehicle, the woman also told us that this website isnt fully correct on what the trip entails or what you can bring. Then we got on the boat and others had coolers and nobody said anything to them until after we got told rudely we couldn’t have ours. Then on the trip the captain never said what anything was or where anything was. For a couple not from the area we were a little disappointed that we didn’t learn anything. So i definitely recommend the trip for the ride and the views, just keep in mind what I’ve mentioned. You get what you pay for
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Thank you Jarrett for the review. Because our sunset cruise has a fully licensed bar, guests are not allowed to bring their own alcohol on board. There was no narration because this is advertised as a relaxing, sunset cruise, with licensed bar and music. Our crew members are always happy to answer questions on board.
Teri_R, Jun 2024
It started raining just before we left, so seeing the sunset didn’t happen. However, having live music playing made the trip very enjoyable.
Richard_C, Jun 2024
Nice relaxing evening cruise with my husband. Even though it was a little cloudy it was still fun. 6/24
Eugene_B, Aug 2023
The beauty of the 1000 Islands.
The cruise was supposed to have snacks available to buy and we did not eat prior to cruise so we were planning on a snack with our alcoholic beverage which had little to no ice and was very weak almost watered down.
The timing of the cruise and the sunset did not seem adjusted for the changing of the season.Overall it was disappointing.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
We are sorry you were disappointed Eugene with our Sunset Cruise. We are investigating why there were no snacks and appreciate your feed back.
Judy_K, Aug 2023
The relaxing scenic views and the Captain CT and his deckhand/bartender were amazing. Very friendly. They made it a wonderful experience.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
We are happy to hear you had a wonderful experience and thank you for mentioning Captain CT!

We are traveling celebrating our 44th wedding anniversary, and we loved our choice of the Château bed-and-breakfast and the riverboat cruises.

JoeDamato, Aug 2023
The trip was very relaxing and we saw many beautiful sites including a sunset. I only wish that there would have been a little bit of narration as we cruised along the river.
