Beautiful!
Tour booked for three hour cruise with family (7 of us). Mother’s 99th birthday gift to us! It was wonderful, beautiful day to take in all the sites and loads of pictures! Going through the ‘cut’ was very interesting, only 17’ draft as picture shows above. Nice to sit and take in the scenery and relax. Staff was very helpful with our Mom as she uses a walker and finds it difficult to maneuver the gangway. At the end of the cruise they surprised us by announcing her 99th birthday over the com, brought a nice smile to her face. The ship is well appointed, safety issues gone over prior to departure, COVID rules followed and enforced, and staff very informative re history of the area. There is a snack bar on board with light refreshments. This would be a gorgeous trip in the fall as the trees change colour. Glad we got to share this cruise with a special lady

Great afternoon, very scenic!
Great afternoon cruise, very scenic and we learnt a lot about the area! We were a large family group including a couple teens and a younger child and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Boat was very clean (including washrooms) and seating areas were socially distanced. Given there limited capacity during covid, we were advised to buy our tickets online the day before. Check in to receive out tickets when we arrived was fast and easy. Snack options on board included pizza, hot dogs, chips, candy etc and they had a bar as well. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and looking to see and learn more about Georgian Bay and the Parry Sound area!

Beautiful Autumn Cruise
The scenery is stunning and the ship is beautiful! Autumn colours just starting to come to peak near the shores of Georgian Bay. Some great commentary to learn more about the history and sites in the area. Staff very courteous and attentive. Many safety measures in place - every other bench roped off, asking guests to use hand sanitizer when boarding and disembarking, one family/group per bench, signage posted clearly indicating mandatory mask usage and social distancing. There was an announcement made at the beginning of the cruise informing passengers of the need to wear masks while indoors or unable to social distance. As a health care professional myself, I was incredibly alarmed that this was not more strictly enforced in an enclosed space. After about the first hour, 75% of people were no longer wearing masks. It was too cold and windy to have the windows open or to be outside for long. We travelled last month to Pelee Island and it was made very clear to all passengers during the booking and boarding process that masks had to be worn (even outdoors) for the duration of the trip and anyone in violation was politely reminded of this requirement by the crew. Perhaps some greater steps need to be taken here to ensure those who are able to wear a mask do - for the entirety of the trip. Highly recommend the 3 hour cruise (maybe after we are through the pandemic though.) Thank you to the staff for all of their efforts during these exceptional times.
