One of the less explored ways to experience a day in Toronto is by water! The city offers many day cruises…from comfy brunches to daytime sightseeing, to picturesque night cruises to see the city lights and fall in love with Toronto all over again.
The following are just some of the many day cruise Toronto options available today!
Obsession III Caribbean Boat Cruise
The Obsession III is a 78-foot motor yacht with a retractable canopy that resembles a “sky dome.” Buffets, barbecues, plate service, and cocktail-style menus are all available on the ship. The two-deck ship Obsession has an elegant dining room with beautiful windows. Guests will receive the individualized attention they require from the ship’s welcoming personnel and cruise director.
When it comes to dinnertime, enjoy the amazing Caribbean-inspired meal that the cruise offers. Enjoy a delicious jerk chicken buffet, while spending the evening together. As the sun sets over the Toronto Islands, everyone may listen to a skilled DJ spin the smooth sounds of the Caribbean as you enjoy this fun activity for your family.
Tour of the CN Tower at Night or a Harbour Cruise
On a memorable city tour after dark, see Toronto’s landmarks lit up for the evening. A picturesque harbour tour or the observation deck of the CN Tower are also excellent places to see the setting sun.
Start the tour off with a lovely boat ride through Toronto’s harbour, if you select the Harbor Cruise option. If not, set off on a driving tour with narration as you make your way to the Distillery District’s first stop. With your guide, go on a walking tour of the neighbourhood’s cobblestone streets and industrial-style 19th-century structures. After the walking tour, you’ll have some free time to browse and buy in this energetic area.
At the base of Cherry Street, your tour guide will take you to Cherry Beach, a lakefront park with a beach. It’s regarded as Toronto’s cleanest beach and is a fantastic spot to swim in the summer, making it one of the city’s amazing treasures.
Afterwards, you’ll have a chance to observe the city lights in the downtown area up close. Visit city hall with your guide and witness Nathan Phillips Square’s famed Toronto sign. The CN Tower will be the last place you visit on your tour, and from its 342-meter (nearly 1,100-foot) high viewing deck, you can see the city and its surroundings.
Kajama
The only tall ship boat tour activity in Toronto, departing daily from the waterfront of the downtown core. The Kajama is a classic three-masted schooner yacht that measures 165 feet. Enjoy a chilled beverage from the ship’s fully licenced bar, as you unwind as it leaves Toronto Harbour for the stunning Lake Ontario.
Experience the best refurbished tall ship on the Great Lakes by boarding. The Kajama, which set sail as the Wilfred in 1930 at Rendsburg, Germany, conducted business for nearly 70 years. She was a well-known ship in ports all over Europe, from northwest Spain to Norway and Russia. Kajama was transported to Toronto’s Waterfront in 1999 when her original profile was recreated. Experience a voyage on this tall ship which was also featured on The Amazing Race.
Obsession III Weekend Brunch Boat Cruise
The Obsession III doesn’t just sail for a Caribbean cruise; it also is home to a luxury brunch voyage.
The ship’s brunch cruise is a fantastic weekend activity whether you live in Toronto or are just visiting. It’s the ideal way to relax in the fresh air after a busy week.
You’ll have plenty of time to unwind, savour the delectable meals, and take in the scenery while cruising for two hours. You will be able to see some well-known Toronto landmarks during your voyage, like the CN Tower and the Toronto Islands, through the upper-level dining area’s big windows, open-air lookouts, and the ship’s fully retractable roof. As you spend time with your family and friends, jazz music will play in the background, and you’ll hear various relaxing sounds to pleasure your senses.
Harbour and Islands Sightseeing Cruise
Take a little sail in the Toronto Harbour to see the city’s skyline and the Toronto Islands. Live narration is used on this trip to enlighten and amuse you while providing exciting ways to explore Toronto.
You can take in the beautiful views of the Toronto cityscape, discover the region’s history, and tour the Toronto Islands on this cruise around the Toronto Harbour and its islands.
Before entering the lagoons to explore the Toronto Islands, your captain will first take you to see the Western Harbour. The skipper and crew will narrate what you see, engagingly and educationally. The historic Hanlan’s Point, the Island Yacht Club, and the wooded areas of the Island Bird and Wildlife Sanctuary are among the locations highlighted on this portion of the tour.
The crew will provide information on many of the famous structures that make up Toronto’s skyline, allowing you to get to know the city as you sail along to find the ideal location to capture the city from the sea during the second half of the tour.
