    Hard to locate pier, no commentary

    Kadi_K, Aug 2025
    Finding the embarkation dock was a real challenge. We put the exact location from our booking info into Uber and it took us one pier over from where we needed to be. We had arrived early so we were able to power walk over to the next pier. Once we reached the correct pier, there was ZERO signage to indicate where we should go. When we finally found the boat, there was no seat selection for us and we had to sit in an uncovered section in full sun. (Yes, we ended up with sunburns.) The ride itself was fine. It was relaxing but there was really no commentary provided and no information about where we were and what we were seeing. It was basically a three-hour boat ride. Further, the description said there was a bathroom on board but there was no evidence of one.

    Bonjour, We totally agree with you about the Old Port lack of signage but we have zero control on this manner. Regarding the lack of comment I invite you to write a email to WETSETMTL with the date of your ride in order to clarify the point with our captain. There is a portable toilet in the boat only for women. Pierre

    Do not do this tour It was very confusing were to get the boat when we FINALLY found the tour guide he was more interested in his phone and when I asked if there were enough seats for us he laughed and said NO.. I have used this app in locations all over the world( Scotland, Mexico Alaska and more) I have never had such a bad experience The only good thing was they agreed to a full refund.. We didn’t go on the boat it would have been a over crowded and not safe.. We opted to take a different boat company and it was completely professional and enjoyable.. I wouldn’t recommend this tour at all

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Madam, It is unfortunate to read in your review that you chose to comment on the capacity and safety of our boat by claiming it was going to be overloaded and therefore unsafe. In reality, that is simply not true. This boat is certified for 12 passengers—period. Such a statement unfairly portrays us as an irresponsible company that puts profit before customer safety, which is absolutely false. This comment is not acceptable, as it is entirely inaccurate. That being said, we understand that you may have felt some discomfort or hesitation upon seeing the boat when you arrived. Not everyone is comfortable boarding a smaller-sized watercraft, and we can empathize with that. However, what we cannot understand—or accept—is that you would publicly express an unfounded and unsubstantiated opinion regarding the quality and safety of our boat, in a way that could harm our reputation. This is simply unacceptable. May I remind you that when you booked with us, you were presented with all the necessary information regarding the type of boat, including its make, size, and features—unless, of course, you chose not to review this information properly. The boat you saw at the dock was the exact same boat shown at the time of booking. As for your claim of an impolite welcome… This may have been the result of a misunderstanding or a simple case of being "lost in translation." The captain had just called me to inform me that the boat had not yet returned from the fuel dock and he was concerned about the delay. His concern may have been misinterpreted. Regarding the refund… it was offered to you voluntarily. You did not need to demand it. I would also like to point out that during our phone conversation, your only concern was not boarding what you perceived—incorrectly—as an unsafe and overcrowded boat. We are deeply committed to offering the best possible experience to each and every customer, day after day. As a small local business, we know how important every single guest is. Are we immune to mistakes? Absolutely not. But when everyone works together, there is always a way to find a solution. Finally, regarding your comment about difficulty locating us—we invite you to share that feedback with the Old Port of Montreal Authority, as this is unfortunately beyond our control. Sincerely, Pierre Bonjour Madame, Il est regrettable de constater dans votre commentaire que vous donnez une opinion concernant la capacité et la sécurité de notre bateau en affirmant que celui-ci allait être surchargé et par conséquent non-sécuritaire. Dans les faits il n’en n’est rien. Ce bateau est certifié pour 12 passagers point. Cette affirmation jette sur nous une image de compagnie irresponsable qui méprise le client sur l'hôtel de la rentabilité. Ce commentaire n’est pas acceptable car complètement faux! Cela dit que vous ayez ressenti un embarras et ou un inconfort à la vue du bateau à votre arrivée, nous pouvons le comprendre. Ce n’est pas donné à tout le monde de se sentir à l’aise sur l’eau dans une embarcation de petite taille. Ce que nous ne pouvons comprendre ni accepter, au risque de nous répéter, est que vous exprimiez une opinion non-fondée, ni documentée sur la qualité et la sécurité de notre bateau et que celle-ci puisse risquer de nuire à la compagnie. Inacceptable. Ai-je besoin de vous rappeller que lorsque vous avez fait votre choix sur nous vous saviez, à moins que vous ne vous soyez pas donné la peine de regarder adéquatement, quel type de bateau, sa marque, sa longueur etc sur lequel vous alliez monter. Le bateau que vous avez vu avant de prendre votre décision est le même que celui à votre arrivée au quai. En ce qui concerne l’accueil soi-disant impoli que vous invoquez.. Il serait approprié de l’imputer à ce que l’on peut qualifier de ‘lost in translation’ qui a amené ce quiproquo. En fait il venait de me téléphoner pour me signifier que le bateau n’était pas encore revenu de la station d’essence et il était inquiet. Le remboursement …. Vous a été offert. Vous n’avez pas eu à l’exiger et je voudrais vous rappeler que lors de notre conversation téléphonique la seule chose qui vous préoccupait était de ne pas monter dans le bateau non-sécuritaire et surchargé toujours selon votre opinion. Nous avons à coeur de donner le meilleur de nous-même à l’égard de chacun de nos clients et ce jour après jour parce que à titre d’employés d’une petite entreprise nous savons que chaque client compte. Sommes-nous à l’abri des erreurs? Absolument pas! Mais lorsque tout le monde travaille dans le même sens une solution est toujours trouvée. Pour conclure en ce qui concerne la difficulté de nous trouver nous vous invitons à faire part de votre commentaire à la Société du Vieux-Port de Montréal car sur ce point nous n’avons aucun contrôle. Pierre
