Nice fast small boat. Less crowded. But not as narrated as I had expected,, probably because of the engine and water noise. Beautiful sights of the city and St Helens island though, and you really get to feel the rapids and fast moving current. It's exciting and worth doing.

    Nice tour! We were lucky and had a beautiful day! There should be better marking on the deck where to meet as no one was around when we all got there!

    Johnny_Y, Oct 2025
    Sitting in open, small V-hull power boat seating 9 - 10 comfortably any more is tight. Might be a little scary for some when seeing wave front the strong current but kind of exciting seeing the boat "cutting" waves.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Bonsoir Johnny, Just to reassure you our boat is use way under his load capacity. We are glad you enjoyed your ride and hope to see you again..! Pierre

    Thrills and Showers

    This was a ride with some excitement in the wild waves of the big river and a powerful speed boat. Our captain was knowledgeable and competent.

    Lynn_S, Sep 2025
    Note that this is an open air motor boat trip and not a boat that is covered or has an indoor option. You will want to take this tour when the weather is good. Alex was a great guide and the very informative. Thank you!

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Hello Lynn, We're glad Alex made your trip enjoyable. Regarding the fact that the boat wasn't equipped with a roof, none of the published photos show such equipment. Pierre

    Small group tour of the harbor

    allidap, Sep 2025
    It is difficult to find the exact point to meet the boat but it was a fun tour around the harbor and sights

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    Bonjour, Thank you for taking the time to write this review and we are delighted you had a good time with Alex. We know about the signalisation but we have no control on this subject... Pierre

    Julien was our guide and he was so great. Just top to bottom couldn’t have asked for a better experience with a company

    The boat was cancelled !...

    Kathleen_R, Aug 2025
    The boat was cancelled ! The moment I got there! They did a double booking ! I didn’t get to get on the boat !

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Nous allons remettre les pendules à l'heure.... Vous avez manqué le bateau de 16:00hr mais vous ne dites pas que vous êtes partie sur celui de 18:00hr. Cela signifie que lorsque le malentendu s'est produit vous avez sauté sur votre téléphone sans prendre le temps de réfléchir pour annoncer à la planète votre drame et nous faire du tort. Déplorable ! Vous pensez vraiment que la planète s'intéresse à vous? Nous nous sommes occupé de vous pendant votre attente, nous vous avons laissé manger dans le bureau etc... Vous m'avez promis d'écrire un commentaire positif sur nous malgré les évènements regrettables. Vous m'avez menti en pleine face parce que vous aviez déjà fait votre commentaire et saviez que vous ne pouviez plus le changer. C'est petit.... Si j'avais su que vous aviez fait ce commentaire, vous pouvez être certaine que vous ne seriez jamais partie sur le bateau de 18:00hr. Pierre

    Water Tour

    Sandra_T, Aug 2025
    Our boat ride was easily scheduled. We had another family with ours. Our guide, Alex, was super chill. We got to see a number of sites. Wish we had booked it at the beginning of our stay rather than the end due to the fact that Alex made some excellent “must see” suggestions that we were unable to do because we were leaving the next morning.

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Bonjour Sandra, Alex will be happy you appreciated your tour and his suggestions .. Thank you for taking the time writing your comments! Pierre

    Wonderful time on the water

    Ashleigh_M, Jul 2025
    We had a wonderful afternoon boat ride! Our captain was friendly and knowledgeable about the sites. I would recommend this tour to anyone looking to get a different perspective of Montreal!

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Bonjour, Thank you very much for expressing your satisfaction. We look forward to see you again Ashleigh! Pierre

    Great intimate sunset cruise

    Sasha_F, Jul 2025
    Much better than the big boat tours. This was a great intimate 1-hour sunset cruise with just one other family and us. We saw all the sights, Ahmin took our pictures and was an excellent captain. Great value and highly recommend!

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Bonjour Sasha, I'm happy you enjoyed your experience with us yesterday and thank you for taking the time to write your review. Wish to see you in near future. Pierre

    Great way to see Montreal

    Ryan_T, Jul 2025
    Really fun way to see the city. Captain was great, Pierre was very responsive and helpful. We had a weather issue and Pierre was very easy to work with

    Response from Host, Jul 2025

    Bonjour Ryan, Happy you enjoyed your moment ...! Tell to your friends and family to come by if they decide to pass by Montreal.! And a special thanks to you for mentioning my name...:)! Pierre

    A chill experience on a small boat.

    Jennifer_H, Jun 2025
    Chill Experience. This is not a formal guided tour, just a nice time out on a small boat with a small group. Captain was good at navigating the waves! Only negative was they moved the start time back 30 minutes from what we reserved, and we waited another 15 minutes to get going. Luckily we had no plans afterward.

    Response from Host, Jun 2025

    Bonjour Jennifer, We are happy you had a good time on the water and hope the departure delay will not be the predominantly point out of your experience. You are right to mention it and due to the nature of this business, it is a constant challenge to make our schedule on time. Thank you for mentioning it and our side we will try harder to make it better. Pierrr

    Great!!!

    Nina_T, Sep 2025
