    Best ship best crew best day

    This was one of the most beautiful comfortable tours. It was fun to watch some of the guests help raise the sale. The staff was outrageously. Wonderful helped us into the way was very friendly. Did some history on board. I highly recommend cruising with this company.

    Disappointed

    The crew was very friendly. The song was cute. The Canon was cool. It's not a sailing experience. They let people help raise one sail and the crew raises another. The ship has 6 The whole time we were on engine power. We motored to the end of the island to the edge of the lake, but didn't go on the lake at all. There was 11mph winds. if they raised all the sails we could have sailed by wind Don't think they ever raise any more than the two sails. Sang one shanty that was nice, and they gave a 2 minute history of the boat Would have been nice if the gave a history of the city or some of the buildings.

    Great Sailing Experience and Fantastic Lake Scenery

    This was an excellent sailing adventure and site seeing excursion. Tge ship is beautiful and the crew is friendly and fun. We toured out into the lake and had great views of Toronto and the harbor. We enjoyed the cruise and took many fantastic pictures.

    We didn’t actually leave...

    We didn’t actually leave at 7:30pm so that’s something to note if you’re doing this. Otherwise, it was a very lovely cruise. We loved it

    Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Toronto.

    How much does Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise cost?

    +

    Prices start at $37 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Toronto usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Toronto is not rushed.

    Is Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 743 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Toronto, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise?

    +

    Around 260 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Toronto can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Toronto and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Toronto within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Toronto?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Toronto experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Niagara Falls Tour from Toronto: Boat Ride & Journey Behind Falls, Niagara Falls Canada Day Tour From Toronto + Boat Cruise Option, Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Toronto?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Toronto?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise?

    +

    Included: Surcharges on fuel. Not included: Food and drinks (available for purchase); Souvenir photos (available to purchase); Gratuities; and Hotel pickup and drop-off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise?

    +

    Docked behind The Harbourfront Centre Building and Powerplant Building Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Toronto Tall Ship Boat Cruise?
