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.

Rob and Rob took us out Sunday and it was absolutely amazing! the conditions were perfect for a sail and as a first timer I instantly fell in love. The guys were great and super friendly, if you're on the fence about it absolutely DO IT!

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!

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.

An exquisite time. On an ample, 41.5 Beneteau, mid-week, rocking squally weather (near race conditions), with a veteran Antigua Sailing Week campaigner?? We weren't robbed of anything; we robbed you, of the best time:) Thanks guys.

Gone Sailing Adventures delivered an incredible sunset cruise experience. The crew was friendly and professional, and the Toronto skyline views were unforgettable. It was the perfect way to wrap up a busy week in Toronto. Highly recommend for both personal outings and corporate groups!

Warm crew, stunning views, unforgettable solo sailing experience.
Sailing solo on this shared trip was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had. From the moment I stepped aboard, the team made me feel completely welcome. They were incredibly courteous, professional, and warm .. it felt like sailing with friends rather than strangers. The views were breathtaking, the atmosphere was peaceful yet adventurous, and everything was well-organized. Whether you’re a seasoned sailor or a first-timer, I highly recommend this trip. Truly an amazing experience

Great "Discover Sailing" lesson, will come back
I did a solo Discover Sailing 3hr Introductory Sail lesson with Capt Howie, as I'm interested in learning to sail and wanted to get my feet wet before committing to a longer course. Overall I had a great time and strongly recommend Gone Sailing: capt was incredibly knowledgeable about sailing and very patient to answer all sorts of questions; the harbor was calm and had nice views of the city; and 3 hours is a good amount of time for a discover sailing class. During the class I alternated between manning the steering or the sail, and got to learn by following capt's instructions and asking a ton of questions.The one caveat is that I sorta assumed the outing to be a bit more active and have more of a class feel to it (like, "get us on course to that direction", "position the sail to get/less speed") and didn't think to bring it up explicitly. Capt Howie was a great teacher and I'm sure he'd have adjusted the outing, so a tip if if to be clear about expectations.Once again, strongly recommend and very likely to come back.

How to be a better sailor!
Taking the NauticEd training modules for the International Sailing License and Credentials (SLC) program and then sailing with Captain Howie Colt for five days of on the water training was an exceptional learning experience. Captain Howie was personable, knowledgeable, professional and patient. As an instructor, when a concept was not being immediately grasped, rather than blame the student, Howie would look for a better way to explain the concept, until it was grasped. I highly recommend this training program for anyone wanting to obtain their SLC license.

Great morning sail
Had an amazing morning on the water with Captain Rob and crew member Aiden! Everything was top notch. What could be better than the lake, sun, breeze, great music and even better company. Even got to see some air show rehearsals! Can’t wait to do it again soon!! Would highly recommend!!

Three relaxed hours
Our hosts were tremendous conversationalists and charted a route around the Bay that was both beautiful and informative. Service was attentive but not overly so, allowing to chill and settle in for the entire cruise. It was a wonderful 3 hours. Well worth it and the highlight of our time in Toronto.

Relajarse mientras se ve Toronto desde las islas
Tour súper relajante, el viento era genial para navegar realmente, y nuestra tripulación hizo todo lo posible para mantenernos seguros, cálidos (mantas disponibles) para disfrutar de cada parte del tour. Prossecco disponible para la venta hizo de esta una gran noche.

Experiencia increíble
La tripulación fue muy amable y la vista era increíble. La mejor parte fue cuando nos sentamos frente al barco con cómodas mantas, tocando nuestra propia música con el altavoz bluetooth mientras veíamos la puesta de sol, algo realmente inolvidable y algo que no debe perderse en Toronto. Sin embargo, desearía que tuviéramos un poco más de privacidad/espacio, ya que a menudo nos interrumpían para que nos ofrecieran bebidas (aunque dijimos que no queríamos ninguna) o tomamos fotos que realmente no pedimos. Le dije a JC, quien amablemente tomó los comentarios. Aún así lo recomendaría de todos modos.

Had a great experience doing a private sail with my family on the Anything Goes (they actually upgraded us to that for free since we originally booked a smaller boat) for my dad's late birthday present. Our captain JC was amazing and involved my dad in the sail at any point he could, which we are very grateful for. Highly recommend!

I took the sailing lesson with Gone Sailing Adventures. If you want to learn the sail boat and how to sail, you go with Gone Sailing with instructor Howie Colt. He is a really experienced sailor, a great instructor, and really cares about you learning. He challenges you to be better and helps you understand the functions and parts of the boat, which is very important to know when you go sailing. He also welcomes any questions during the lesson, and is always happy to teach you more. I do not think I will ever forgot what he taught me. As I was never on a sail boat before, I enjoyed sailing because of Howie. I also had so much fun! Gone Sailing Adventures also follows COVID-19 health instructions and social distancing. Thank you Gone Sailing Adventures for this experience! Much respect!

We wanted to take a moment and really thank Howie and crew for facilitating our inaugural fundraiser event - in support of sailing and running programs for the blind. The event was a success; the kindness & professionalism shown to our group did not go unnoticed. We had a blast out there!!! We'd certainly recommend Howie and crew for a fun day out on the water!!
