    A great Sunset Cruise
    My sisters and their spouses and my wife and I took the two hour sunset cruise on September 20th and enjoyed it very much. The captain and crew were top notch. The weather was good but cloudy. It was a good value for the money.

    Unprofessional and unreliable. Don't book with them.
    Well first of all we were supposed to head out on Wednesday but the weather was not in our favour. Tried calling to see if we can change but it kept going to voicemail then saying the mailbox was full. Thank goodness someone answered on messenger and was able to get it changed . So on Friday we had to drive about 2 hours to get to Parry sound. It was raining a little when we got there but people were getting on the Island Queen boat so we went to our boat no body was there. Tried calling & when someone finally answered they said it was cancelled due to Weather which is fine but never received anything from them stating it was cancelled. I asked if I was going to get a refund he he said will do that right now asked my name and hung up. So have no idea if or when i will get a refund. Very unprofessional especially from the one brother in charge of booking. I do not recommend going to the Company. Better off going on the Island Queen cruise
    Good day, Parry Sound Cruise Lines my be require as a result of dynamic environment be required to postpone, or cancel a cruise. We are not always able to provide a notice of changes right away. The Cruise your group would have been on did not operate as a result of the high currents at our dock, which would result in a unsafe environment for the M.V Chippewa to operate in. Please contact Parry Sound Cruise Lines at 705-746-6064, or email: info@mvchippewa.com. Best Regards, Andrew Robertson, Parry Sound Cruise Lines, General Manager

    A most unique experience.
    Booked the Wednesday evening dinner cruise. Unfortunately, the boat's caterer had not delivered on his promise to provide the food. So, there was no dinner. However, instead of cancelling the cruise the staff provided us with free munchies and we took one of the most enjoyable cruises I have ever had on Georgian Bay. It was stormy weather. The wind blew, the rain came down hard and the waves developed white caps and large swells. The Chippewa, in it's previous life a "Maid of the Mist" boat took it all without any problem and gave us a fantastic ride. Just before we were to turn back the clouds behind us parted and we were treated to a full , intense rainbow right in front of us. What a thrill. We got a refund for the meal portion of the trip before we even returned to the dock. Thank you Chippwea crew for a real serendipididous experience.
    Thanks for the great review. Thanks, Tom, Owner

Thoroughly enjoyed this dinner cruise! Food was excellent! Attentive, friendly and welcoming staff and Captain made the evening more special. This small older vessel is basic but comfortable and full of history having hosted Princess Diana and Marilyn Monroe, as reported by staff. A perfect way to enjoy the splendid beauty of Georgian Bay.

This is the type of business you read the reviews, and you simply walk away… You should never book this company for large events. PERIOD… This business will simply ignore you if you run into issues or demand answers. Their lack of response time is non-existent. Should you have any issues, best of luck to you.
The two sons running this business have no idea how to run a business, leaving the clean up to dad, who is not involved in the day-to-day operations and is not kept informed. Don’t be fooled by this man’s charm as well. He will also not deliver on what was agreed and when it was agreed upon. This is by far the worst business I’ve ever had to deal with EVER!!! This is a family drama business… Best to stay away.

Booked passage for a cruise on July 25, 2023. Arrived at the dock well ahead of the scheduled 1:00pm departure time as did the many other paid passengers. No tour operator, no boat pilot. No-one. I had to contact the cruise line to be told he would call his brother to find out what was going on. Called back to be told they had just cancelled the cruise. Well after the scheduled 1:00pm departure time." Unreliable" is a comment that is being kind as a review of this company.

Was expecting to go on the Chippewa, instead they took us on the jet because there were only six of us. Flimsy plastic chairs not very well secured. My friend fell off when he gunned the boat and the chair tipped. Has a huge bruise on her arm. Was supposed to be 2 hours, back in an hour. Never saw the hole in the wall. No commentary. Extremely disappointed.

We bought 2 tickets through Wagjag, and with some difficulty (several phone calls , emails and sms') we managed to get reservations for an afternoon cruise.
Because we live quite far from Parry Sound, we drove to a hotel 2 hours from Parry sound and stayed there the night before
In the morning we left the hotel at 9:30 and drove to Parry Sound, had lunch at Boston Pizza, and went to the dock at 12:30. Nobody was there, so at 12:45 we called Andrew, who told us that the cruise had been cancelled.
We found out later that Andrew had sent us an email just before 10:00 AM, after we had left the hotel and were underway.

I can not recommend the dinner cruise experience highly enough. The crew are friendly and professional, the food is exquisite, and the cruise itself is phenomenal. I am a veteran of the Island Queen (also wonderful), though the intimacy of this smaller vessel is a pleasure all its own. You want to take this three hour (well, 2.5) tour.

We had a fabulous outing…very intimate.. Staff waited on us..We had been on the larger boat last year…this was so much more comfortable and enjoyable…the only thing missing was commentary…but we engaged in conversation with other guests and had a great cruise.

my husband had injured his knee earlier in the week and I have hip issues. Cruising among the islands for 3 hours was the perfect activity for us since walking the trails was too much at this time, though we would have loved to.
