Toronto's lakefront is teaming with boats for touring around Toronto Harbour. These are two of the more interesting ones - Oriole and Showboat. Foreground is Northern Spirit, a 'classic' harbour party boat. All three are owned by Mariposa Cruise Lines. Toronto has a pretty decent harbour for touring around. Across the harbour and facing the city is Toronto Island. From there, great views of CN Tower, Rogers Center, Toronto skyline. Most of the tour boats in the harbour have shallow enough draughts to cruise the inland waterways in and about Toronto Island. I once tried to buy a boat like these. This was a few years ago when there wasn't as much competition as there is now. The financials for the tourist/event boat business at that time were remarkable. All booze based. Very low costs and very large mark-ups. No need to work winters! Could spend those down south - maybe even doing the same business. Here's the Google link for Toronto Harbour Cruises.
