My wife and I picked Le Petit Navire because we wanted to enjoy a quiet boat ride away from other tourists. The boat is small and doesn’t feel crowded at all. We got some beautiful pics. This was very enjoyable – easily one of the highlights of our trip.

This was the highlight of our visit to Montreal that day. The boat is small and does not feel crowded at all. It is electric and thus hardly make any loud noise when navigating. This is great because we could hear very clearly the captain and tour guide. They are very knowledgeable and funny as well.

Such a fun experience during my first trip to Montreal! The tour guides and cashier were all so helpful and nice! The length and distance of the tour was perfect, making it just enough to see around and get in the water. The boat is small but very comfortable!
