Yankee Lady Yacht Charters of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, has been family owned and operated since its inception over 30 years ago. Yankee Lady is currently operating two beautiful yachts, Yankee Lady III and Yankee Lady IV; both designed and built by the owners for the Toronto cruise boat industry. Please check out our legend on the left for more information about us and our company, her owners, and history.
Toronto's Yankee Lady Yacht Charters has been operating for over 30 years. It all started in the early 80s when cousins John and Jim Greeley partnered up to purchase their first cruise boat, Yankee Lady I. In 1989 Yankee Lady II, a 100 passenger yacht, was purchased and started cruising Toronto Harbour with her smaller sister ship (50 passengers).
Food is an integral part of any boat cruise. Whether your party just needs finger foods, a casual buffet or a high-end fancy four-course sit-down dinner, we at Yankee Lady Cruises present fresh, tasty menus made in a Health Board approved facility. Following is a list of our standard menus. We would be pleased to customize the food for you if you do not see it here.
We offer cruises for any occasion, both for private and business. All events are professionally staffed and catered. Give us a call at (416) 868-0000 or email us today for more information or to book a charter. Unfortunately, Ontario liquor laws do not allow you to bring outside alcohol with you, or to remove alcohol purchased on the boat.
One of the common questions asked by new clients is "Where Do We Go?" on our Toronto Boat Cruise. The final route we take is left in the hands of the Captain. He is responsible for the safety of all passengers and ensures our clients receive the smoothest ride possible with the best experience. The following map provides a general overview of where our cruises go.

I got the privilege of taking a lunch boat cruise today courtesy of my mom for my birthday because I've always wanted to experience it. To my surprise I thought it would have been a bit better. I thought I would have seen a bit more then the usual center island while the boat traveled along. The whole cruise was about 2 hours which included a buffet style lunch. The lunch included the following:
- chicken kebobs ( not much flavour)
- beef kebobs ( not much flavour and cooked medium rare so it was a bit chewy)
- veggie kebobs (which you only got if you were vegetarian)
- salad
- bean salad

I bought a Groupon for one of their Wednesday night themed cruise. Our cruise was for the 50s. There were so many things to enjoy about this cruise. First, the service is incredible. I had mistakenly only booked one of my tickets for the cruise. They contacted me as soon as they noticed my mistake and made sure that both tickets were booked. Second, I loved that the cruise goes through the Toronto Islands. I couldn't have picked a more beautiful and better way to see them as we cruised through them at sunset. Third, I appreciated that they allowed you to get seconds for dinner. No one was

I bought a Groupon and went on a lunch cruise this fall. It was a little rainy and no longer summer so I think fewer people came than otherwise would. It didn't take long to get our food and I enjoyed all the salads, chicken skewers and burgers. It wasn't quite restaurant quality but very good considering the price and that you get a cruise with it. We went around the Toronto islands which we enjoyed because there was lots to see and even some animals. The boat was actually fairly modern and airy compared to other small cruise boats I have been on in the past. Thank you Yankee Lady!

Extremely Poor Customer Service! My friend organized an event "Deja Vu Yacht Cruise" on Saturday, Aug 15, 2015. He hired a caterer for the Thai Buffet provided on the cruise. We had paid $60 each for this event. After having received a plate of food (which I didn't get enough), I went back since I had not eaten enough and was still hungry. I was rudely told by Stacy to wait until the staff had been fed then I can go for seconds. I even got the organizer to allow me to go for seconds but once again was told to wait until all staff was fed. This is the first time that I heard

The boat itself is a decent sized boat, however the decor and inside of the boat is so lackluster. Very dingy. We were the last card to be called up, it took an hour to finally get our food while everyone else got to chow down.
The food was so bad, so bland. It's like they just bought all the sides and chicken pre-made from a random grocery store and served it to us. I thought the ice cream bar would compensate for it, but nope. Just plain ol' vanilla, strawberry and chocolate with some standard toppings. I would have much rather pay for a real dinner else where because the cruise itself

My Husband and I went on a Saturday Lunch cruise on a Yankee Lady boat this summer. We spent a nice Saturday afternoon cruise on the one of the Yankee lady boats. I must say the weather that weekend was dark and gloomy and it was raining the entire time. So we didn't get to enjoy the outer decks.
Aside from the weather we had a wonderful time! The staff were so pleasant, and sitting on the top seated deck we were able to get a nice view of the harbor. Lunch was great, the burgers were my favorite, so juicy and succulent. The cruise felt a little long, perhaps this is because we weren&apos

With my birthday and our anniversary coming up next week, Gord and I celebrated tonight on the Yankee Lady. Some of our friends joined us.
It was a great night for a cruise ... a bit cool and breezy. The cruise was from 8pm to 11pm and went in and around the Toronto Islands.
When we boarded, we were given a card ... ours was silver. When the colour is called, you head for supper. Ours was called last. The pasta ran out just after the only vegetarian on board (one of my friends) got some and some in our party (and those after us) didn't get any. It was good but cool.

Another "venue" I'm having mixed feelings about. For the dinner portion I would give it a solid 3 stars, but for the experience and friendliness of the staff a very good 4 star cruise.
Being my first dinner cruise here in Toronto, I don't have anything to compare this experience with, I was there using my Groupon on a public dinner cruise night that was part of the Tall Ships Festival. The Tall Ships did not really play a part in the experience, we drifted past them while they were anchored to the harbor that was it.
Seating arrangements were more focused on larger groups
