Meilleurs écoles de voile à Montreal : trouvez des options près de chez vous

Martin and Lou Mai have been excellent, I’ll take their recommendations on anything. First purchase was just a cheap little stopper ball, somehow it got separated from the inner collar it’s supposed to have. Sometimes it’s when things don’t go perfectly that you learn who you’re dealing with; Martin took full responsibility and shipped the missing piece out immediately, in time for the weekend. Next was a Cycplus Volcano rechargable pump, based 100 per cent on Martin’s recommendation, and it’s awesome, should have bought one years ago.

Service incroyable! Gens passionnés. Toujours prêts à nous aider à trouver l’article parfait pour notre prochain voyage. Merci Kiteforce!

We’re visiting Montreal with kids ages 9 and 4 and wanted to find something fun for them while we checked out the old Montreal area. This ropes course, bounce house and carousel was the perfect activity for both boys. The younger one had plenty to do with several low to the ground courses, carousel, and bounce houses. My 9 year old made it all the way to the double black diamond course and had so much fun conquering all the challenges. I’d highly recommend this place for people with kids visiting old Montreal.

You shouldn’t be afraid of height and have at least an average fitness level. There are courses with different levels of complexity. For me it was a challenge, my son made several courses twice and enjoyed it.

As a dad of two young kids, I can honestly say Voiles en Voiles was the highlight of our Montreal trip. We visited on August 6, and walking into the park felt like stepping into a real-life Peter Pan adventure with pirate ships, rope courses, zip-lines. The park was just magical for the kids but what really stood out was one incredible staff member, Abby. Both of my kids had moments where the height got a little intimidating for them but Abby was just phenomenal. She didn’t just offer quick encouragement and moved on. She stayed with them, held their hands when needed and gave them gentle confidence boost to help them get through the course. She even did the zip-line with my daughter to help her feel safe. Thanks to Abby’s kindness and patience, what could’ve been a scary memory turned into a confidence-building adventure. By the end of the night, both of our kids were asking if we could come back the next day. Huge thanks to the Voiles en Voiles team, and especially our hero, Abby. You made our family’s night, and your impact on our kids will stick with them.

Mon fils de 7 a adoré! Nous sommes des habitués de Arbraska, et j’ai beaucoup aime le fait qu’il n’y a pas de mousquetons a défaire et accrocher par lui même

Voiles en Voiles

An amazing experience for both kids and adults. You start with two green courses (easy level), then progress to blue (intermediate level). Completing two blue courses qualifies you for the black level (expert). They even offer a double black level — the most challenging course.

There are some challenging obstacles, like the swing, which can be a bit scary because it’s hard to keep your balance — especially if there’s strong wind, it gets even harder :)). But in the end, the feeling of accomplishment after overcoming these challenges is wonderful!

One thing I really liked was that we went there by electric bikes and could park right inside the playing area. It felt safe and convenient.

We’ll for sure come back again!

Voiles en Voiles was amazing. Our whole family had the best time. We all tested our limits and enjoyed the challenge of the different courses. Safety was a priority, which we appreciated.

Attention à vos véhicules dans le stationnement! Le gestionnaire principal, M. David Speak est irresponsable en laissant un jeune, sans permis de conduire valide, conduire la camionnette de la marina – ce qui est illégal, même sur un terrain privé. Le jeune conducteur, avec peu d’expérience au volant, a reculé la camionnette dans notre véhicule et M. David Speak s’en lave les mains et ne prend pas ses responsabilités!

Est-ce que vous pensez que vos embarcations sont en sécurité à cet endroit???

Exceptionally view, if you are member a very good bar. Easy access to ships. Very easy to reach it by car.

For members only, beautiful location for a relaxing break to enjoy a cool beer and leisurely boat ride.

Spectacular view!

Great yachting club, on a very nice location. Club bar has a terrace overlooking the marina and lake, in shade of few big trees. There is also a proper clubhouse in an older, protected building.
Most boats are sailboats, only a few motorboats so quite peaceful and quiet.
Club is very well managed, very responsive to inquiries. Also has an excellent sailing school program, including adult courses.

Quel endroit remarquable! Pour ce deuxième été notre fils y passe un mois en formation afin d’être familier avec la conduite d’un voilier. L’équipe est très professionnel et attentive au moindre geste de nos enfants. L’apprentissage s’y fait de façon sécuritaire et personnalisée. Les différents niveaux de formations motives notre fils à s’appliquer afin de réussir et avoir son diplôme attestant sa réussite et l’assurant de passer au prochain niveaux. Merci à toute l’équipe de prendre grands soins de notre garçon!

BYC is a special place. It is a yacht club with great assets. The harbour is safe, well protected. Racers have ample opportunity to compete regularly. Cruisers enjoy immediate access to the widest part of Lac St Louis. A little, historic stone building serves as the clubhouse set in a wonderful green space. The property is high on a hill where you can sit, easily overlooking the harbour, the lake, and weather conditions on the water. A shipwright has his workshop right on site. The club is well managed, and racing and cruising sailors are friendly and helpful. BYC is a special getaway right on the island of Montreal.

Excellent for teenagers and families.
When you are member, You can sail free.( if you can sailing)
If you don’t know, there have course.

Awesome discovery alongside what the area has to offer. Exploring the unknown not too far from the noisy city and gems like these areas and people around.

On est allée pour le souper avec des amis. Le service est très courtois. Mais le menu et la table d’hôte peut être un peu plus variée. Le briské étau froid, le rizoto était bon, la pasta excellente mais manquait le service de poivre et parmesan après! Une excellente musique band accompagne le souper!

A private Yacht club for members having their own boats, which helds special events like private parties that non-members have access to. A very nice place, serving good foods and drinks, with a terrace and garden giving on a nice view on the St-Laurence River.

Nice club house. It was clean and nicely decorated. Service at the bar and restaurant was friendly and quick.

Fantastic adult sailing class! The instructors were knowledgeable, patient, and made learning both fun and safe. I gained confidence on the water and learned way more than I expected.
Worth every penny!

Endroit magnifique, impeccable, très propre, très bien tenue. Service poli, courtois. J’ai bien aimé.

Première visite à cet marina. C’était très paisible et relaxant. Les lieux sont propres et bien entretenus.

What a beautiful setting for the yaght club! Very nice people too!

Very nice sailing Club on Two Mountains Lake, Qc. Very friendly and competent staff, very nice and clean facilities.

Wonderful familial environment.

En fait, je suis passée tout près en kayak pour aller sur le bord de l’Anse…ma destination était une aigrette, pas la marina! J’ai bien aimé regarder les bateaux, leur passage réservé est bien indiqué par des balises flottantes.

Très bel endroit, mais sans contredit la pire marina que j’ai connu surtout a cause de leur attitude condescendante, (la réceptionniste surtout) Absolument désagréable au téléphone. Service très ordinaire sur place. Une chance qu’existe l’entraide entre les membres du club pcq l’aide viendra pas de la direction believe-moi! Petits quais, étroits et mal éclairés. L’entreposage des bers est un empilage dans un fouillis total.Si vous avez besoin de celui-ci en dehors des dates ou ils sortent les voiliers, attachez votre tuque avec d’la broche et sortez l’argent de votre portefeuille! Ils vont vous biler à l’heure pour le sortir du dédale. Ont brisé du matériel sur mon voilier lors de mon démâtage (l’aide au démâtage a très bien vu leur erreur tomber dans le lac) et ont mêmes pas eu la décence de s’excuser et encore moins de me rembourser pour le remplacer. Bref, suis parti et mon voilier aussi.

Top class marina! Welcomed me in as a visitor and treated with great kindness. A gem on the lake!!

My recent visit to the yacht club was overall average. While the facilities were decent and the location was beautiful, there were a few areas that could use improvement. The service was satisfactory, but not exceptional, and the staff seemed somewhat disorganized. Additionally, the menu options at the restaurant were limited, and the prices were higher than expected. However, I appreciated the cleanliness of the premises and the breathtaking views. With some enhancements to the service and dining experience, this yacht club has the potential to be great.

Nearby to the quaint Pointe Claire village and the park, this club is very practical. However, they need to be more pro-active in competing better with the multitude of other clubs in the area. Looking forward to getting back here in the Summer.

1 star because I encountered a club member that was rude, disrespectful and entitled. I came as a visitor on the visitor dock on my boat and as I was walking in the club there was an old man (worker) that looked at me and asked if I need anything in a rude manner, I said no and walked into the went in to grab a drink and the person working the counter was very nice lady but there was a club member that walked in and looked at me up and down and started asking me questions such as («do you know where you are?», «do you know anyone here?» and ended with a «Why are you here?» and a «You are not supposed to be here.» ) and the old man came in and told the nice lady that she isn’t supposed to serve anyone that is not a member. I did not disturb anyone nearby just wanted support the local club. Staff was rude except the lady serving us up at the bar. DO NOT RECOMMEND!

Nice place to dock/disembark your boat. There’s a little park on the corner and the view of the St Laurence river is chill. Parking is very full over the weekends. You can also leave your vehicle near the school in their parking.

For what it is its pretty good. Quaint little yacht club. Kind staff and a nice bar/restaurant. The club has probably seen better days from a upkeep point of view but what needs to work works. Great place to spend time on the water.

Very nice old fasioned yacht club. Docks were nice, ramp was a bit difficult to navigate but we got through.

We were at the little park (just to the left/east of the yacht club) sitting at a picnic table, but enjoyed the view of the river as the storm approached!

Woow
Ohana est une école incroyable où j’ai eu le plaisir de faire une introduction à la voile en famille.
J’ai par la suite suivi des cours de niveau 1 et obtenu mon élémentaire avec un instructeur chevronné.
Je continue à me pratiquer avec des niveaux 2, et chaque sortie est une expérience unique et enrichissante sur des bateaux vraiment agréables et bien entretenus.
Merci Ohana

Un mot : gratitude !
En 2022, j’avais passé mon brevet de croisière élémentaire avec une autre compagnie, et cette expérience m’avait laissé un goût amer.
J’ai recommencé la voile cet été avec Ohana et j’en suis très heureuse ! Nous avons passé 5 jours à Kingston sur le Mission Latitude avec Simon et Stéphanie.
Attentifs à nos besoins, bienveillants et toujours de bonne humeur, ils ont su me redonner le goût de la voile. Leur approche pédagogique et leur passion communicative ont transformé cette expérience en pur plaisir.
Je vous recommande vivement d’aller les rencontrer, vous ne serez pas déçus !

La meilleure École de voile au Québec! Une quipe d’instructeurs très qualifiés et sympathiques! Service à la clientèle impeccable !

Nous sommes allée sur le Excess 11 (catamaran) en décembre en Martinique. Nous avons fait une introduction à la voile. Ce fut un voyage de rêve, juste assez d’apprentissage vs repos. Les 2 propriétaires et instructeurs étaient vraiment chouette, je recommande à tous : amis, famille, couple.

Vraiment une belle expérience ! Cette école est professionnelle, amicale et surtout très compétente. J’ai fait plusieurs sorties avec eux, ainsi que mon cours de voile élémentaire : absolument merveilleux. Grâce à eux, j’ai maintenant la piqûre de la voile. Je ne saurais trop recommander l’école de voile Ohana, tant pour les débutants que pour ceux qui cherchent à se perfectionner. Mention élogieuse spéciale à Jade, dont le service à la clientèle dépasse toutes les attentes !

Nous avons fait le cours d’initiation à la voile par simple curiosité et nous avons adoré! Assez pour nous avoir donné l’envie de pousser l’apprentissage. L’a formation était super intéressante, nous pouvions y aller à notre rythme et selon nos intérêts. Très beau bateau et Dominic et Juan étaient vraiment géniaux et sympathiques! Merci! Je recommande l’école à 100%

Excellente école! Je recommande à 100%. J’ai fait un cours d’introduction et j’ai adoré. Les instructeurs Francis et Michel ont été parfait. Organisation A1. Le voilier est super beau. De la qualité du début à la fin. Très belle expérience!! Merci

Incroyable ! On a passé une nuit au quai juste en face de Montréal. Super marina, site magnifique, endroit très propre.
Et le métro de Longueuil à 10 minutes vous mène directement au centre ville de Montréal.

A superb marina. We stopped here on our way out the St Lawrence River. The place is very well managed, organized, clean and tidy. Staff are friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Belle place au bord du fleuve vue sur le port montréal

Couché de soleil magnifique. Super site!

La marina de Valleyfield est bcp mieux lol

Très bon service

A marina and great lookout of the city too.

Fantastic course with Tony.. it was only my second time on a sailboat and by the end of the course I felt knowledgeable and confident as a beginner skipper (international cert.). The course is very complete and requires preparedness! I couldn’t ask for a better start on my sailing journey, and am grateful to know I can keep learning and growing with Ynot Sailing at my own pace – Maëlle

Just finished my first 2 days. Learning with Tony will be hard. Learning with Tony will very hard. That means do your homeworks, listen when he talks, to every words. BUT that means you will become a better sailsman(woman). You will feel more confident when it is time to try by yourself. You will have to use logic and your memory. Beware, if you are just here for the fun, you will get it, if you really want to learn. If not, go somewhere else.

Good learning experience and solid instruction from a very experienced sailor. Although not for everyone, Tony’s teaching approach forces you to learn all the basic aspects of sailing safety in a figure-it-out yourself approach, so you better come having studied the theory scrupulously. You have to be ready to make many mistakes and get corrected repeatedly, and he will not miss any chance at letting you know so you don’t develop bad habits.

I’ve recently completed the practical portion of the beginner skipper course and cannot recommend it enough. The instructor is extremely knowledgeable and provides a comfortable environment to ask questions (and I tend to ask A LOT of questions).

Not only that but his years of experience in sailing/teaching is clear by how he tailors his feedback for each student. The course not only gave me a good introduction into sailing, but also helped improve my confidence when at the helm!

I really can’t recommend Tony and Ynot Sailing enough!

Tony has created something special with his Ynot Sailing program. Come with an open mind, and a willingness to learn. Tony is a tough, extremely knowledgeable and experienced sailor who forces you to learn from your mistakes. But, with an emphasis on safety and preparedness, and a hands on approach to teaching, he is a veritable fount of knowledge and one should learn quickly if one has the willingness to.

What I like about Tony is that the banter comes easy, he’s got a head full of interesting facts and trivia, and he has a quick wit that softens his teaching style and makes learning from him a very personable experience. And what an experience it was! As much as i learned on the IYT Flotilla Skipper program with Tony, there is just so much more to learn… I’m really looking forward to continuing my sailing journey with Ynot Sailing next season and strengthening my foundation further. Thanks Tony!

Just finished my first of two overnight sailing sessions. What a great and knowledgeable experience. Was able to apply what I learned in class. We (Tony and I) had to make last minute decision changes to our sail plan which was a fantastic learning experience. Going through the courses makes you a very prudent and confident navigator which allows you and your guests to have a more enjoyable sailing experience.

I recommend Ynot Sailing to everyone with or without experience in sailing.
Tony is a very knowledgeable instructor with years of experience including several ocean crossings. He attaches great importance to safety on the water that gives confidence to every member of the crew. Conditions for living on a sailboat far from the luxury, however, gives the course a special flavor. If you want to learn how to sail a boat for real then Tony is your instructor.
Tony was, hands down, amazing. Not only did he exceed all expectations, he went so far beyond anything I could have hoped for.

We went there with our own paddle boards, so I can’t speak of the services they provide, but there were plenty of small sailboats- I believe they are called Lasers- kayaks, paddle boards and peddle boats. The lake was spectacular! The water was super clear and warm.
It was a peaceful, beautiful day, I couldn’t have asked for a better day!
We went on a Friday, so I’m sure the weekend would be far busier, and there was already no parking! The parking for the Centre Nautique, itself, is inadequate at best and all of the surrounding street all indicate no parking! There is parking around the block but if you’re showing up with your own boards or kayaks, you’re not going to be too impressed!! it’s a little bit of a trek!

C’est un lieu idéal pour pratiquer de la planche à paguer et d’autres activités nautiques et aussi pour admirer la nature.

5$ pour les non résidents, pour avoir le droit de mettre à l’eau son embarcation sur décision de la ville qui a interdit de le faire ailleurs que sur cette plage douteuse. Le staff nous a affirmé que l’accès au St Laurent était payant dans toute la municipalité, qui a donc privatisé l’accès à l’eau.
Bravo.

The staff here were very kind to me, very accommodating for an amputee. Let me try the kayak to make sure it was comfortable for no charge. Very kind staff, very caring.

Il y a pas assez de stationnement c’est naiseux mais reste que c’est une très belle endroit

Compter au moins deux heures pour le tour , idéal marche, Picnic, familiale , très beaux endroits

These people do not care about their visitors. No site, no published information, no time table even on the point itself. We arrived at 4pm on an sunny Sunday only to find no one, everything locked and no one knowing anything. Only in the park near by someone was so kind to tell us, that the rental service worked for the last day of the season today and so they closed earlier. 15th of September! +28C! People bathing and SUPping everywhere! And they just closed the season and didn’t care to even add a notice on the entrance that they are closed! Very disappointing.
