With summer in full force in Montreal, there's no reason not to be having some much-deserved fun in the sun.
For those looking to up the ante on your summer bucket list, you can rent your very own private yacht for a day on the water sailing the St. Lawrence River.
Yacht Lyfe, a new yacht rental company in Montreal, has unveiled its 53' luxury yacht named Azimut, which is available to rent all summer long for $150 per person.
The vessel can fit up to 15 people and is perfect for a celebration, party or your every-day weekend afternoon get-together. You're able to bring your own food, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, swimwear and towels. Yacht Lyfe offers its guests complimentary water, ice, sunscreen, boat-wide Bluetooth, and of course, access to its stunning facilities.
With an interior salon adorned with sofas and a mini-kitchen, the yacht is fit with everything and anything needed for the ideal day on the water. And yes, there's a bathroom.
The exterior stern includes a platform with a ladder, rope and floating tools — this is where you can jump off for a swim when docked. As for the main deck, you can enjoy lunch or dinner at the dining table set with comfortable seating and access to the inside salon. This part of the boat is also shaded, this way you can still be outside while taking a break from those rays.
Both the port and starboard side of the yacht have passageways that can take you to the front of the bridge, where you can lay down and take sun or stand and watch the boat sail through Montreal waters.
For those looking to soak up the sun or get the highest view, the sun deck is perfect for just that. You've also got tons of space and seating to drink, sunbathe or chat with the captain at the cockpit.
Yacht Lyfe provides a captain and deckhand for your experience. However, you can also bring aboard your own crew, so long as they have the necessary and appropriate license to operate the vessel.
Furthermore, instead of bringing your own food and drink, guests can also opt to hire their own catering services or private chef. Note that any additional crew guests bring on the yacht count toward the 15 people.
But where do you board from? This is decided closer to the date of departure. However, Yacht Lyfe can pick you up and drop you off at various ports across the Greater Montreal Area, including the Old Port and Île Charron in Longueuil.
Guests are also able to choose where they would like to go or opt to have the captain decide the best yachting spots for their day aboard Azimut.
The yacht can be booked for various time slots including 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., 4 p.m. to 8 p.m., 9 p.m to 1 a.m., and/or the full day (8+ hours).
Reservations can be made online, where a Yacht Lyfe team member will then be in contact to curate the perfect yachting experience.
