Activity description
Is a daytime cruise too traditional for you? Then choose this one, an unusual night boat ride on the Ottawa River!
Ottawa Yacht Tours invites you to cruise the Ottawa River after dark on one of their two luxury yachts, "Dolce far niente" and "Everly". You'll have a great opportunity to see the Parliament Buildings, Alexandra Bridge, Chateau Laurier, and Rideau Falls from the river that separates Ottawa and Gatineau, as well as Ontario and Quebec for several kilometres.
Whether you want to relax with your family after a long day or party with friends, this night cruise from the Jacques-Cartier Marina, near the Lady Aberdeen Bridge in Gatineau, will give you what you are looking for. With quality service and comfort, the two available yachts will make you spend a glamorous and exclusive moment on the Ottawa River! All you have to do is choose the boat you prefer for your night cruise between Ottawa and Gatineau!
So book your night cruise on the Ottawa River and enjoy a unique view on its shores between Ottawa and Gatineau!
One and a half hour night cruise aboard the yacht "Everly": 42 feet long x 14 feet wide OR the "Dolce far niente": 37.5 feet long x 11.5 feet wide
