We went on the Toronto Boat Parties "Air Show" cruise on the River Gambler and were highly…read moredisappointed. This was advertised as a 3-hour boat tour specifically to watch the Toronto Air Show. We bought tickets ONLY for the air show. First, they changed the date from September 5th to September 6th and refused refunds. Then they boarded us late, so we were only on the boat for about 2.5 hours and actually sailing for roughly 2 hours. Most importantly, we saw NONE of the air show. The boat basically went in a small circle, never getting more than about 10 minutes from the dock. That was the "tour." We didn't buy tickets for a regular harbour cruise -- we bought an Air Show cruise that was advertised as a way to watch the air show. We didn't see any of it. Highly disappointing and misleading.

Was pretty much disorganised and misleading. We "thought" we were attending a boat cruise to watch…read morethe Snowbird planes and CNE flight show. However, apparently it was originally advertised as an ABBA party which was not advertised on the site I went to. The site said to be there for 11:30. We get there just after 11am and then find out boarding isn't till noon. Standing in the sun for almost an hour. A family was in front of us with 2 young boys. They waited and waited like we all did. We and they finally go to start to board the boat and they are in told that no children are allowed because there is alcohol on this boat. What a *hitshow. The boat is docked next to a golf driving range. There is black netting over the entire boat to protect it from the golf balls!! You are looking through thick black netting, not open air!!! So now my partner and I have been waiting 1 hour to board the boat. We get on, DJ music blaring. Eventually a bunch of women all dressed in 70's ourfits tell us it's an "ABBA" party. Huh?!!! So you have to look at the sky through thick black netting, a little like being in a cage. DJ music blaring for 5 hours. Somehow they had a singer to do fo the "ABBA" songs which basically sounded like not great karioke. Maybe this was a good boat at one time in the past, but personally I will NEVER go on this boat again. Thankfully the airshow was pretty good and it was a nice day, so it wasn't a total loss.

Booked this trip through a Groupon deal with some friends. The boat was supposed to be the Aurora…read moreBorealis but we ended up boarding this one. We boarded quite late. Boarding time was supposed to be 5:30 but we didn't get on until quarter past 6 because there were dumpsters in the way. It was very unorganized. You could see staff running around cleaning and loading food onto the boat. When we finally got on, it looked a bit sad and dingy. I think the washrooms were the best kept part. Brightly lit with heaters and seats. Full length mirrors and nice decor. As an apology for keeping us waiting we all got a free shot on the house. Belvedere. It was a chilly night out so that definitely warmed us up. Dinner proceeded shortly after. Dinner rolls, caesar salad, pasta and chicken skewers. It wasn't anything fancy, stuff you could easily whip up at home but it wasn't bad at all. Bar and DJ were at the upper deck. Lots of birthday celebrations that night. Mixed crowd but overall everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. There really was no wow factor overall for this cruise. I'm glad we got it for cheaper. I wouldnt pay full price for it. Because of the people I was with I had a good time but if you're looking for something fancy, this isn't it.

I have to admit that I actually didn't take the boat for a cruise, but I was tormented by it for…read moretwo weekends in a row. the music is way too loud. I tried to had a relaxing time at the Ontario Place on a Sunday and Saturday afternoon, a picnic with friends... what I got instead? overwhelming and throbbing beats from Stella Borealis that seemed to be moored in front of Trillium Park in the Ontario Place for a more than an hour not going absolutely anywhere. next weekend the same sh%#. seriously, this boat is suppose to cruise around Toronto Islands, yet it spends more than an our around the Ontario Place two weekends in a row. till I've read these reviews I thought honestly nobody on board cares about where they go as long as they have music and booze, and I wanted to suggest going as far from the waterline as possible (like middle of Ontario lake seriously, to spare all beach/park goers, not to mention just Toronto or Toronto Islands residents ears). can the management of the company consider how obnoxious to so many people their enterprise is? Can they play the music not so loud, or make the boat go farther away from he shore? or have it actually moving along instead being moored at the same place for more than an hour? Stella Borealis inflicts torture, it ruins experience for people who live in the city, don't own cottages and just have nowhere else to go but to the lake to cool off. I used to think jet ski were loud, but comparing to Stella Borealis music, jet ski engine sound is like a whisper. I mean it.
