The Canadian winter can reach freezing temperatures, so it is better to avoid visiting from November to March to benefit from a boat charter in Toronto.
Temperatures start rising in April and begin to fall again in October.

The best times to visit Toronto are late April through May and September through October as there are fewer visitors and temperatures are still warm.
Where to charter a boat in Toronto?
Situated in downtown Toronto, Toronto Harbour – the most well known harbour in Toronto is a natural harbour that is principally used for recreational boating.

The harbour is also known for its restaurants and shops, so it is definitely worth browsing if you have extra time!

Renting a boat with or without a skipper?
Yacht charter in Toronto includes the option of hiring a skipper and/or crew. Whilst this may come at an extra cost, it will enhance your experience. Having not only a professional, but also a local onboard is a great opportunity for you, your family, and friends to explore secret caves and sandy beaches that would otherwise go unexplored by tourists.
