Additional Information
Embark on a 2-hour nautical journey, exploring the harbour and proceeding to the lake via the west channel. Keep an eye out for the world’s shortest commercial ferry. There’s also an underwater pedestrian tunnel linking both sides for those in a rush to catch their plane.
True lovers of sailing will appreciate the stirring winds and gentle waves of Humber Bay and Lake Ontario. Most weekday evenings offer a spectacular display of local sailing club races.
Sailing to the south of Toronto Islands, we traverse the Eastern Gap, showing you the thriving community of roughly 260 homes occupied all year long. Don’t miss the sight of summer cruise ships docked in the port, journeying from Quebec City via the St. Lawrence Seaway to Green Bay, Wisconsin on Lake Superior.
Our course culminates along the Toronto shoreline, featuring urban beaches like Sugar and HTO Park, waterfront condos and hotels, Toronto’s marine fire station, and the iconic CN Tower.

Excellent Sail - I sail, usually crew for others, and yet my wife has never been on a sail boat, so I took the opportunity to share the experience with her. The 2-hour sail was just the right amount of time to experience a gentle sail on Lake Ontario waters. A 38' Beneteau was perfect, with a competent captain, gentle winds, she and I had a great time. A definite must do when in Toronto.

Relaxing while seeing Toronto from the islands - Super relaxing tour, the wind was great to really sail, and our crew did everything to keep us safe, warm (blankets available) to enjoy every part of the tour. Prossecco available for sale made this a great evening.

Great sail with Howie! - Our 2 hr sail with Howie was terrific. We were the only ones on board and we had a very relaxing sail. Learned a lot about the area and the islands. Howie and Liam (mate) were friendly and knowledgeable. We would go with them again if we are back in Toronto.

Magical! - The crew was wildly over-qualified and regaled us with fantastic stories of sailing the world. They had blankets for my daughter when she got cold and made my motion-sick mom comfortable in the back of the boat where it's less bumpy.
Definitely follow all the instructions they give you in the emails leading up to your trip.

I will do future trips with Gone Sailing Adventures when I go back to Toronto. - There were awesome views of the water and skyline. JC and Donna were the crew, these folks made you feel like family that you like to share time with. I cannot say anything negative, the whole experience was enjoyable and worth the money.

Incredible experience - The crew was super kind and the view was amazing. The best part was when we sat sit in front of the boat with comfy blankets, playing our own music with the bluetooth speaker as we watched the sunset - truly unforgettable and a must-do in Toronto.
I wish we had a bit more privacy/space though as we were often interrupted to be offered drinks (even though we stated we did not want any) or take photos that we did not really ask for. I told JC who gracefully took the feedback.
I would still recommend anyway
