Take a one and a half hour sunset cruise on the Ottawa River and enjoy the soft orange light of the landscapes between Ottawa and Gatineau!

At the Jacques-Cartier Marina, near the Lady Aberdeen Bridge in Gatineau, you will have the pleasure of boarding a luxury yacht to sail on the Ottawa River. The best part of this cruise? You'll watch the sun set over the cities of Ottawa and Gatineau! A great way to see the Parliament Buildings, Alexandra Bridge, Chateau Laurier, Rideau Falls, etc. in a new light.

Separating Ottawa and Gatineau, as well as Ontario and Quebec for several kilometres, the Ottawa River offers a boat ride you won't soon forget, especially with its splendid colours during the famous Golden Hour. You have a choice of two Ottawa Yacht Tours yachts for this cruise: "Dolce far niente", or "Everly", the larger of the two. Once aboard the boat, all you have to do is admire Ottawa and Gatineau at sunset, in the glamorous and exclusive atmosphere provided by the yacht and its quality service.

If you are looking for a relaxing and original outing in Ottawa or Gatineau, this sunset boat ride on the Ottawa River will make your day unforgettable!
