34' Luxury Double Decker – Party Friendly w/Washroom 2 Hours Free!!
Ron completed our weekend in Toronto celebrating our friends bachlorette by taking us onto his boat, showing us beautiful views of the city, and being an all around personable, fun and funny captain. We enjoyed laughing and talking with him. His boat was clean and spacious. I would definitely recommend Ron and look forward to chartering with him again soon!

My daughter and her friends had a 16th birthday party on the boat and they had an amazing time. Jeffrey was a wonderful host and the boat was incredible. Everything was exactly as described and it was a amazing experience for everyone.

Jimmy and Wanda were absolutely amazing! My friends and I highly recommend them. We booked them for a few hours for my bachelorette and brought hot dogs and burgers and jimmy cooked them for us so that we could relax and hangout and spend time with each other without having to worry about a thing! They made sure we were all set multiple times through the experience and were extremely accommodating to any and every request. The boat was very clean and well maintained, and Spectacle Island was beautiful! They know all of the good spots and were very knowledgeable in the history of the island(s). We would 100% do this again and book for even longer next time!

William was great and we had a wonderful time on the boat. It ran flawlessly and handled the windy conditions we had that day really well. William was also very communicative and helpful with ensuring we had everything we needed. I would book with him again.
