Their private charters come with full support: professional captain, licensed crew, music systems and catering options, allowing guests to relax and enjoy rather than manage logistics. They also emphasize safety and compliance, stating that their vessels exceed commercial inspection requirements in Canada.
The location at 415 Queens Quay West provides a central waterfront launch point, which is convenient for downtown access. The company also runs themed sails, such as full‑moon events or corporate team‑building trips, which adds variety beyond standard charters.

Highly recommended
Gone Sailing Adventures delivered an incredible sunset cruise experience. The crew was friendly and professional, and the Toronto skyline views were unforgettable. It was the perfect way to wrap up a busy week in Toronto. Highly recommend for both personal outings and corporate groups!— Danielle Wawryk, via Google
Amazing experience!!
I went on a boat on July 25, 2025 and I had an amazing 2 hour boat experience. The two people working on the boat, the Captain and his assistance were quite friendly and had an extensive knowledge of Toronto and its history. I learned so much about Toronto. tThe boat was big enough to accommodate 8 people maximum at a time. In the front of the boat that was several bean bags and very comfortable to enjoy trip and was very relaxing. You can buy Captains hat and order food ahead of trip as well. We celebrated a friend’s birthday onboard. I brought over a cake and the person served us several pieces to us in the front of the boat. There was a bar service onboard and we enjoyed the wine and beer. There could have been a few more choices in regards to wine and beer choice. I would use them again for sailing.— E, via Google

3. Heritage Coast Charters
| AMENITIES | ★★★★☆ |
| PACKAGES | ★★★★☆ |
| MANAGEMENT | ★★★☆☆ |
| BOOKINGS AND INQUIRIES | ★★★★☆ |
Heritage Coast Charters has been around since 2004 and has been recognized as the best small motor yacht charter boat in the Greater Toronto Area by the “Toronto Now” magazine’s “best of Toronto.”
They also received the 2019 Toronto Star Readers’ Choice Award Winner for Boat Charters with their proven record of serving groups of 10-12.
Usual package rates are $1,150 and $1,650 for 2 hours and 3 hours respectively, exclusive of tax. Customers who wish to have additional hours need to call their hotline to ask about their rates.
Rates include the basics — a captain and first mate, water, a cooler filled with ice, and the vessel’s fuel.
Of course, given their limit on passenger capacity, the charter rental service automatically loses the market portion that needs yachts for 13 or more people.
Nevertheless, intimate groups may enjoy scenic views of Lake Ontario, a taste of the Toronto skyline, and scenes from surrounding areas. This experience is where the company promises to deliver.
Heritage Coast Charters also has a special anniversary promo as of writing. Their 15 year celebration offers a 3-hour minimum Bachelor/Bachelorette party with free pick-up and drop-off within the city of Toronto.
Bookings and inquiries are made easy through call and a contact form on their website. Customers are required to do a 50% deposit upon booking though and a full payment a day before departure.
Cancellations are free when made a week before departure date. Full refunds are issued when the company decides to cancel due to weather issues.
Overall, this company proves to be a reliable place for yacht rentals. They got a total of 4.3 stars out of 16 Google reviews.
