“Tall Ship Kajama Toronto Harbour Cruise”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 17, 2012

The weather and view of the Toronto skyline was very good, but that was the best of it. The ship is old(1930) and a little interesting to look at, but that goes away quickly. Unfortunately for us, there was no wind that day, so the crew basically wasted their time putting the sails up, but that was something to watch. However, at no time during the 60 min cruise did the crew talk about what we were seeing. i have been on cruises in several major cities in various countries, and they always have a commentator or similar. i found the lack of information to be the major downfall on this cruise and would not do it again. The food and drink prices were no deal either, but i guess that is nothing new at tourist attractions. Poor rating may be a bit harsh, but below expectations for sure.

Dear Dan

Just wanted to touch base after discussing your cruise last year. I most certainly took your comments into consideration and have tried to make changes for the better. We do not offer a narrated tour on Kajama as we want to provide more of a sailing experience. Obviously if there is no wind available it is difficult to not use the motor. We do sail as much as we possibly can and we do our best to provide guests with a great sail. Sorry you didn't have a great experience we hope you will give us a chance this year to change that opinion.

“Look at the city from the different angle”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 15, 2012

We had a lot of fun sailing along the shore on the great sunny day! The crew did their best to please the passengers. Especially we enjoyed their song, when the guys were winding the ropes. Just one improvement may be done. At the beginning, when the passengers boarded the ship, the photographer took the pics of every group, holding the others. As a result we departed with a 25 min delay. The rest was OK. It is really worth trying.

“Beautiful big ship sailing experience on a perfect sunny day”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

It was a family outing during last week of August on a perfect sunny day in Toronto. Very fun seeing the lake front landmarks and watching airplanes departing and arriving. Nice sailing experience on a big ship and for talking and eating. Well worth the price.

The food is surprisingly good on board and so reasonable in prices. Most definitely recommend getting some food. Also, there are three time slots in the day and I would recommend the first schedule since less people and just lunch time on board, perfect.

“great afternoon!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

We live in Toronto and we were looking for something to do with my parents who were visiting from out of town. This cruise was exactly what we were looking for - it was a beautiful day (Sunday of Labour Day weekend), it was only 1.5 hours so didn't take up our whole day and the added bonus was we saw parts of the airshow going on at the Ex. It is a really nice boat, the staff are friendly, and the bar has an excellent range of beer. :) If you are looking for a nice way to spend the afternoon and be out on the water, this is it. If you want a 'tour' cruise where someone is constantly talking and pointing out the sights, this isn't for you. Vey enjoyable.

“A nice mellow trip”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 20, 2012

People complaining about the engine power: It's supposed to be a two hour tour, so be thankful for that engine/wind power combo. I've had the wind die on my unpowered sailboat many times, and been adrift for hours before deciding to paddle to make some pitiful distance and combat boredom. Enjoy it for what it is!
