FAQ
Adults are welcome on board!
While the kids dive into their treasure hunt, the bigger ghosts are invited to accompany them or chat with the boat’s captain. He’ll be happy to share the secrets of the port and tell authentic mysterious tales of Montreal’s past. On board, there’s adventure for everyone!
A minimum ratio of 1 adult to 3 children is required.
Is the boat safe?
Yes, the Bateau Fantôme is a certified passenger vessel, operated by a Transport Canada-certified crew. She’s very stable, offering smooth, pleasant sailing. The entire perimeter is secured by a railing, and although life jackets are on board, it’s not necessary to wear them. You don’t have to sit still for 60 minutes. You can also take some great photos of the city. So you can enjoy your adventure in peace… even if there are a few ghosts lurking about!
Can children come in costume?
Of course they can! How could a Ghost Ship deny boarding to little ghosts, pirates or treasure hunters? Come in costume and get ready for adventure… but be warned, if your disguise is too realistic, we might just keep you on board forever!
Is food allowed on board?
Of course it is! Even ghosts nibble from time to time. You’re welcome to bring a snack on board, but there’s no need to bring all your picnic paraphernalia… Our prankster spirits might steal it all!
Is there a bar service on board?
Yes! aboard the Bateau Fantôme, you’ll find a bar offering a selection of beverages, including beers, coolers and non-alcoholic refreshments. Something to toast to… with or without ghosts!
See the menu.
Are there toilets on board?
Yes, there’s a cabin on board.
What happens if it rains?
If it looks like bad weather is on the way, just show up for your adventure. The Captain will monitor the situation and decide whether or not to cancel your departure. Quebec is notorious for its fickle weather, but often the skies clear just in time. Ghosts hate to disappoint, so we do our best to ensure the adventure, even in light rain, as long as it’s safe. Prepare accordingly!
Is the cruise available in english?
Yes, of course! Our guides and crew are bilingual, so you can enjoy the adventure in English with no problem. We make sure everyone feels welcome on board, whatever the language!
