    A must do!
    Elaine_B, Sep 2023
    Our two-man crew was Informative. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating enough to have the windows open and enjoy the true scenery and beauty of the St Lawrence River but made the best out of it through the canopy windows. Definitely recommend the boat tour.

    Denis our tour guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, a total joy to be around. Captain Scot made sure we were safe on the water and pointed out the wildlife…. As for the excursion to Boldt castle it was stunning and made the trip well worthwhile. Millionaire Row with all the fancy houses is a must to see. All in all totally enjoyable experience, would recommend to all.

    The Ultimate Cruise was very enjoyable. Brad, the tour director and Capt Scott made it an enjoyable cruise. Although the tour was listed as 5 hours, the time went by quickly. Boltd Castle was amazing as were the views on the river. We’d highly recommend this cruise.

    The captain was great,...
    Linda_S, Aug 2023
    The captain was great, and the guide was exceptional, Liam. I have been coming here for years, and this young man told me things about the river and homes I had never heard of before. I started seeing Bolte Castle in the 70's, so that's quite an accomplishment. Both the captain and Liam seemed to be enjoying themselves and that made the trip very enjoyable. Thank you.
    Response from Host, Sep 2023
    Thank you for mentioning Liam and your captain and for the great review!
    Great time.
