Main problem was the lack of signage and directions. Very difficult to find on this very large pier. Trip Advisor needs to provide specific directions and the boat needs signs along the pier to direct you. That being said it was a nice boat ride seeing a bunch of local sights and the captain was great!
Sunset Boat Tour not What it Seems!

If you are expecting a magical, relaxing tour, you are in for a surprise. Basically, this is a guy with a small power boat who takes you up and down the river in the evening. The river is rough, you will get wet (people sitting in the bow of the boat were drenched) and there is nothing relaxing about it. I wouldn't do this again and gave it 3 stars because it was fairly cheap and the guy who owns the boat is a nice guy.
Enjoyed our boat ride! Worth doing.

It was a very enjoyable experience. Learned some new facts about Montreal and had fun on the actual St. Lawrence River which had a very fast and choppy current. Loved that it was a small boat and group. Directions were fairly easy to follow. We just asked another boat operator which dock once we got down there. Tour Guide was very nice.
Cold but informative

Very informative tour but stayed in the harbor due to high winds. Note that this boat is small and open to the elements. The tour operators can’t do anything about the weather and I probably should have read more about the boat. Our guide gave us the full 60 minutes, but we were ready to warm up after 30. Recommended as long as you dress warmly!

Our tour guide Dominique was very kind and made sure we had everything we needed. We had a great time riding on the pontoon and seeing the beautiful sunset!

The boat was next to impossible to find. The boat could use some new cushions. Captain was polite. And on time. Only 9 passengers. Very intimate .
An experience on the river!

Nothing fancy, but enjoyable. The guide was informative, friendly, and had a good sense of humor. By no means a high end cruise, but well worth the price.
Good excursion

Their directions to get to the boat were atomically bad. But the ride was very good and he was good.
Worth the modest price

The cruise takes place in a small open boat that shows signs of wear - cushions repaired with cello tape - and has no “facilities.” Having said all that, the pilot Alex was a masterful boatman who navigated through the heavy and very swift current with skill. The trip was an exciting thrill ride worth the modest price
