Top Boat rental services in Toronto, Canada

Reserved the odyssey premier dinner cruise on the 20th of December to celebrate our anniversary. Service was great. The servers were very friendly and attentive. The portion sizes were good. All meat options are halal!
There were plenty of photo opportunities of the sky line as well.

Only cons are that the vegetarian sampler for two was essentially a platter of fried frozen food. The red velvet cake also tasted like it was a store bought defrosted cake. They could also improve on the lighting indoors to make the experience more pleasurable for viewing at dinner. It definitely is an expensive dinner, but we left satisfied.

Would recommend as a one time experience if you are looking to splurge on a date night! Would also recommend that you arrive by 7:15 pm, as the dinner cruise leaves at 7:30 pm sharp

We caught the first tour ride out on a chilly November afternoon and had a ton of fun. I feel like there should be more signage directing people exactly where to go/line up here but once you see the boat you'll know you are where you're supposed to be.

The water was on the calm side but the boat still moved around a bit while sitting stationary at various points in the harbor. If you don't like rocking boats, make sure the water is calm and it's not a windy day! There's coffee, drinks, popcorn, and other snacks available for purchase on the boat and the prices weren't bad.

Once you're off the boat after your hour-long tour, head inside the building directly in front of the dock to use the restroom inside! I think half the boat immediately went inside to use the restroom.

Part of the CityPass, and it was well worth the sixty minute journey! We have had a lovely tour guide, who introduced us to various parts of the city, including Toronto Island and Billy Bishop Airport. There was a snack section downstairs with alcohol though I was too enamoured by the scenario to check those out. Also, if you have citypass, there’s no need to go to the kiosk next to the dock, just go straight to the boat. And since we went on a cold Tuesday in October we were fortunate to be able to walk in, because they mentioned reservations is recommended. It is an excellent tourist destination, lots of pictures to be taken!

We had a great time and experience within City Cruises! Captain Mykola and his team are the best🔥🔥🔥 We got a lot of wonderful views of night Toronto, have learned a lot if interesting facts about the city. Highly recommend for visiting! Thanks a lot, we’ll definitely come back!

The boat took off promptly. The guy narrating was excellent and spoke a lot about the surrounding views, buildings and area. Recommended if you get the CitiPass and remember to choose a day when it's sunny/good weather.

Wonderful experience. Friendly staff. The view at night time is recommended. Skyline looks beautiful. Cruise is nicely paced. Lots of seating and photo op times. Enjoyed listening to the speaker provide facts about historical places of interest during the cruise. Would for sure try again, if your new to Toronto, it's a must.

I took a group of seniors and it was great. The staff helped everyone onboard and stored their walkers. There is a 4 inch lip getting into the boat so wheelchairs would not be able to board. There are several steps down to the washroom but my people used the restroom before they boarded so it was fine. Good narration and beautiful views. For $40 you can't go wrong.

The sunset dinner cruise on the Odyssey was a great date night for my wife and I. We went on a day with daytime weather that was pretty dreary. The expectation for an amazing sunset was low but at the last minute the sun broke through the clouds and the sunset was amazing!!!

Our server Kate was very good at her job plus she was funny and friendly as well.

We made friends with the other people at the tables around us.

The food was very good.

It was a great night.

Unprofessional behaviour, lack of punctuality and lack of accommodation for their mistakes. They likely overbooked and had the customers suffer for it.

Yesterday we went to this office to rent a boat and we were really excited and looking forward to it. We arrived at the office around 5:30pm and the person with short hair who was at the office was supper unfriendly with miserable manors and clearly knew nothing about customer service or just caring about people in general. We were told the minimum you can rent is an hour so it’s too late now as you have to be back by 6:30pm and it takes 15 minutes to do the paper work. We suggested to pay for an hour but still be back 5 minutes before 6:30pm as we just wanted to use the boat for 30 minutes near by instead of their normal route. We were totally rejected and given poor excuses. We asked the person to talk to a manager and they called the manager but didn’t explain the situation precisely and told us it’s not possible.

And just to be fair, the other person who was outside near the boats who we initially spoke to was very friendly and helpful.

Harbourfront Centre Sailing and Powerboating hosted a multi-race sailing regatta as a Corporate event for my coworkers and I. Upon arriving, the staff were incredibly hospitable and welcoming to us. We began with some basic training and safety instructions, and then we were quickly out unto the water! There were 14 of us total, and we split unto 4 different sailboats, each one with its own instructor. With the guidance of our instructors, learned the basics of sailing, and each of us had a chance to try the various maneuvers to manipulate the sails and guide the boat. We had time for multiple races, cruising around Lake Ontario with a perfect view of the Toronto skyline. The team had a great time and would love to do it again!

My 7 friends and I rented two boats today. Upon our return, we were told there was “damage” done to the boat. Upon clarification, they stated that there was a boat fender missing and that since it was missing, I had to put $50.00.

My problems with this situation.

1) The burden of proof is on the company to PROVE there was boat fender on the boat by means of either documentation and/or pictures of which none were available.

2) I reviewed my camera footages and I found that the boat fender that was missing actually went missing 5 minutes into my boat ride as it was floating on the harbour. When showing the front desk, they said “they couldn’t do anything about it” since the manager, Emma wasn’t available on long weekend ; one of the busiest days of the year.

3) The company’s logic was that since the boat fender was missing upon return, it was ultimately my responsibility to pay up even though the boat fender went missing as I literally pulled out of the docking bay, which means it was CLEARLY not tied properly or inspected properly prior.

A suggestion for all other customers - either go elsewhere OR take pictures before and during your trip - you never know which one of them will become helpful.

As for me, I am waiting a call from the manager Emma.

Update: The manager called and argued the same point but eventually, she said she would not charge us the $50.00.

Fantastic experience ……

The Toronto Yacht Club was through and through amazing! They did everything I wanted and then some. I'll never be taking my boat anywhere else!

Very friendly team that will answer any question and take care of any problems, the customer service was flawless.

And the work they did on my boat was above and beyond! Keep up the great work guys and thank you for taking care of my precious yacht
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had so much fun! My boyfriend took an online boating license so that we could boat around Toronto Island and back to Harbour. They gave us a 2 hour time slot and that was plenty enjoy for us to just chill on the boat and enjoy the scenery.

My boat has been serviced by the Toronto Yacht Club for the past few years, and they are beyond incredible!

They are the one stop shop for everything boating! The entire team is so easy and friendly to deal with, and all they want to do is help and educate on boating.

They GET IT DONE! Always on time, and they under promise and over deliver. It's a refreshing experience for the boating industry.

The services I received were:

Painting the haul of the boat, winterizing, storage / shrink wrapping, installed underwater lighting, installed batteries, mechanical and electrical, cleaning and polishing.

I love the service that I have received, and greatly appreciate the team and their hard work.

Thank you so much Toronto Yacht Club and the team, you're my boat guys for life! :D

It was ok. The Lund boats that are supposedly described as a 5 seater don’t actually have 5 seats. Its two seats and some small uncomfortable benches around the border of the boat. If you’re sitting at the rear seat near the motor be prepared to have a loud engine in your ears and a mouthful of exhaust fumes. Basically the drivers will enjoy the ride the most. An hour isn’t really enough and for some reason they’re only allowing one hour rentals due to covid, I still don’t get why. It’s a good facility to rent a water craft and get away from the city. Boats should be better suited for more comfort.

Overall a great experience! Met nothing but detail-oriented employees who helped us out with the reservations, check-in, training, and docking. Weather couldn't have been better, water was smooth, and views were great!

Only thing I'd recommend is to book in advance and try to go on a weekday because there's a lot of water traffic to navigate through (ferries, water taxes, canoers, kayakers, etc.)

Had a great experience renting a powerboat. The staff were helpful and explained the rules, boundaries and how to operate the boat well. The ride itself was beautiful, lucky for us we went out in the evening and got to see the sunset over the city. Going through the islands was really nice as well, very relaxing and scenic. Highly recommend, will be back to go again.
