A Wonderful way to be Introduced to Montreal - Our experience with the Boat Cruise at Le Petit Navire, Montreal was very enjoyable. The narrator provided good information about the various sights as we passed by them. The restored boat is lovely. We were fortunate to have good weather since the boat only has a roof, and nothing to protect us if it had been rainy or windy. We recommend this because it was of good value to us.

A Pleasant Ride - We had a beautiful day for a boat ride. It was fun and informative and our brief ride in the rapids was exciting. There were no drinks served in board.

Lovely waterfront tour - Nice tour of waterfront area. Wine was $10. Staff were very nice and helpful. My husband uses a cane and both mobility and stability are a challenge. Getting on the boat wasn’t too difficult but getting off was a challenge and he almost fell. I would not consider it as accessible as indicated.

Lovely 45 minutes on the waterfront - Nice/comfortable electric boat and very friendly/knowledgable staff. Honestly, the sites you can see from the water are fairly unimpressive, and I think a walking tour would have provided more interesting commentary. Overall, though, this was a lovely way to spend 45-60 minutes on the water at sunset.

Quick and doesn't go very far - Eh, having taken other boating tours in other cities, this one is rather underwhelming. The boat doesn't go very far, and part of the trip is into a private boat dock to see... other people's personal boats? That part was odd. They pointed out some interesting things, sure, but it was very scripted and regurgitated. It seemed like there were other, better options for taking a boat tour.
