Boat Cruise Toronto

Public Toronto Boat Tours

Since 2000, the  Tall Ship Kajama  has provided Toronto with a spectacular sailing experience. We sail on our boat cruise every weekend from the beginning of May, all the way until the end of September! You can even sail with us daily from June until Labour Day. The 2 hour Toronto harbour boat cruise consists of a 30 minute boarding time, and an hour and a half sail out on the open waters of Lake Ontario. You can sit back and relax, or help assist our crew to get the full sailing experience. At the end of each cruise we even fire off our own ship’s cannon. This is a great experience for families!

With an affordable price, it is a perfect relaxing way to spend a nice summer’s day or evening.

Everything went extremely well and the team had an absolute blast. Thank you so very much for all of your assistance along the way.

Thanks again for working with us to create great memories for our graduates this year.  Your patience and flexibility were really appreciated too.

Thank-you Ginny to you and your staff for the amazing service. All went well.

The food was great, and the music was amazing.

We had such a wonderful cruise with you on the Pioneer Princess. The food was great, and the wait staff was superb as was the DJ and Captain. Hope to see you again next year. Many thanks to everyone.

Thank you very much for a wonderful cruise last night on the Pioneer Princess. Our students and staff were absolutely thrilled.

I went to a Halloween party hosted by Pioneer Cruises and the service was impeccable. The Captain was super friendly and informative, the staff was friendly and engaging.

Great parties all the time. I really enjoy their events.

The fleet we rented was beautiful and well maintained, the ride was smooth and the views were great, really got to appreciate Lake Ontario.

Overall great experience, great service, and great amenities. As the date of the event approached, the staff of Pioneer Cruises did a wonderful job coordinating it and keeping me updated. The boat itself was beautiful and it was obviously well taken care of, and the food and music were top-tier. Highly recommend this experience!

Had a wonderful experience aboard Pioneer Cruises’ luxury boat. I loved the view, the food and drinks, and the impeccable service, which made my birthday celebration very memorable. Cheers! 🥂

Our Company team building was a success. The service was great. The staff were amazing and kind to everyone. We will always remember with delight the joy we had in Pioneer Aurora

Loved this experience so much! My husband and I were invited to a wedding and we had a great time. The ambiance was so romantic and elegant. Friendly staff and clean place. Good and the drinks were beyond enjoyable. Considering celebrating here again.

The ship itself was in great condition and very clean. We were impressed with the attention to detail and the overall ambiance of the ship. The cabins were comfortable and well-appointed, and the common areas were perfect for relaxing, socializing, and taking in the beautiful views of the water.

Would not have been able to enjoy this event as much as I did without the help of such lovely and accommodating staff and crew! They took care of us from the planning stage all the way up to the execution, so I was able to relax throughout the whole time. The ship is beautiful and well-maintained as well. Would love to work with them again!

MARINAS, YACHT CLUBS, AND SAILING CLUBS ON THE WATERFRONT AND TORONTO ISLANDS

There is a rich and historical culture of boating around the Inner Harbour and Lake Ontario, and with that, there are a number of marinas, yacht clubs, and sailing clubs where people can dock and service their boats. Many of these marinas offer spaces for visiting boats by reservation or through reciprocal agreements.

Yonge St Kiss n’ Sail Pilot

The Kiss n’ Sail, a pilot program at Yonge St Slip provides 30 meters of short-term docking space at Yonge Street Slip for private vessels, operating daily from 10:00 am until dusk from June 28th, 2024 to September 30th, 2026. Sponsored by Waterfront Toronto, PortsToronto, and CreateTO, this initiative enhances safety and streamlines marine activity in the Inner Harbour. Dock use is free and on a first-come, first-served basis for motorized, privately-owned pleasure crafts; captains must remain with their boats to avoid congestion.

What our Clients are Saying About Our Toronto Boat Cruises

Exert from letter:"......The Captain and crew were exceptional in making everyone feel welcome. The Captain was most patient in answering the constant flow of questions from the youngsters and permitting them the thrill of a turn a the helm. The crew enlisted several of the passengers to assist in hoisting the sails which gave them a great sense of involvement. Needless to say the experience was very educational as well as fun for all." Shirley Whittaker

You are welcome to spend the sail relaxing with a cold drink or exploring the ship, listening to the crew singing sea shanties, helping raising and lowering the sails or talking with our experienced crew.  Be sure to keep your eyes open for the firing of the cannon at any foreign ships that may try to sneak upon us!
