TOURS

These tours are, by far, the best we offer. You get to experience navigating the river during day time, during sunset, and during night time, with the added bonus of intimate, front row seating  for a fireworks show.

Embark on an exclusive tour aboard our intimate sunset yacht tours, where the mesmerizing beauty of dusk in the sky and on the Ottawa River is just the beginning. Limited to a maximum of 12 guests, our sunset tours promise an unparalleled blend of sophistication and serenity. As the sun sets, indulge in cocktails or local handcrafted beers and indulging in locally-prepared fresh gourmet food, expertly served by our attentive crew, against the backdrop of Ottawa’s iconic skyline. But the magic doesn’t end there. Prepare to be dazzled as we anchor for a spectacular front-row of a magical fireworks light and sound show, casting a kaleidoscope of colours across the water, creating a truly unforgettable experience in opulence and luxury.
