Thank you Howie Colt for setting us up for a impromptu sail on your 42 foot yaght Whirly Girl Sailboat yesterday. It was an amazing perfect day for going out. We enjoyed the company of Captain Rob and First Mate Rob. Traded many sailing stories. This was our first time out for a sail this summer. I will highly recommend your company. Spencer, John & I had the very best time.

Our experience with Gone Sailing was like a mini Below Deck Sailing Yacht experience with the incredible Captain and crew Rob and Rob! We sailed around the harbour, explored the lagoons of the Toronto Islands and took in the the city skyline’s twinkling lights to top it all off! 11/10 ⭐️

I booked the Discover Sailing experience yesterday and it was an amazing 3 hour lesson in how to sail. Very hands on and full of discussion to understand what we were doing. Captain Howie was calm and reassuring throughout the morning and I left with incredible memories and a desire to learn more when it comes to sailing. I recommend them to anyone interested in what sailing is all about.

At such a difficult time in our family's life, captain Howie and his crew made the scattering of my father's ashes an enjoyable experience. With care and empathy he took care of everything we needed and gave my father the perfect send off. The website was user friendly and it was easy to connect and arrange all the details. The boat was clean and comfortable for a party of 12 people to share in a surreal experience. I look forward to using the services again for hopefully a more joyful event in the future in our family's life.

3hr Private Charter. Captain Bob and crew gave all of us an excellent experience. Food, drinks and wind. The fog rolled in and they followed their protocols to keep us safe. Great job! We all had a wonderful time.

I went on a boat on July 25, 2025 and I had an amazing 2 hour boat experience. The two people working on the boat, the Captain and his assistance were quite friendly and had an extensive knowledge of Toronto and its history. I learned so much about Toronto. tThe boat was big enough to accommodate 8 people maximum at a time. In the front of the boat that was several bean bags and very comfortable to enjoy trip and was very relaxing. You can buy Captains hat and order food ahead of trip as well. We celebrated a friend's birthday onboard. I brought over a cake and the person served us several pieces to us in the front of the boat. There was a bar service onboard and we enjoyed the wine and beer. There could have been a few more choices in regards to wine and beer choice. I would use them again for sailing.
