A crewed yacht rental, built for events
Many Toronto yacht rentals are small boats for about a dozen guests, booked by the hour. Yankee Lady is a crewed 113-foot event yacht with three decks, a licensed bar, a climate-controlled salon and room for up to 280 guests. A licensed captain and first mate run the harbour, while our events team shapes catering, bar, décor and entertainment into one tailored proposal.
Where you’ll cruise
Every charter is a private harbour cruise that begins at Queens Quay West and follows a tailored route around Toronto Harbour. The captain shapes each cruise around the weather, harbour conditions and the timing of your event, so your guests take in the Toronto Islands, the open water of Lake Ontario and the downtown skyline with the CN Tower.
For more than 40 years, this family-owned Toronto company has hosted landmark celebrations on Lake Ontario. Every event pairs the freedom of the water with the ease of a fully planned venue.

Yankee Lady combines a private yacht charter with dining, entertainment and open-air Toronto Harbour views in one venue. The family-owned business was founded in 1984. Weddings, corporate receptions and private celebrations can be tailored with catering, bar service, décor and entertainment; the captain adapts the cruise route to conditions and event timing.
Yankee Lady provides a tailored proposal rather than a single published rental rate. Pricing depends on the date, guest count, event timing, menu, beverages, entertainment and other service requirements. Send those details to the events team to confirm availability, pricing, inclusions and booking terms. An enquiry does not reserve a date.

Confirm the vessel and meeting point for your booking. Humber Bay and Lake Shore area pages describe guest origins, not additional boarding locations.
