40′ Meridian Flybridge “Empress” — Premium Group Charter with Stewardess Service
Welcome aboard the “Empress” — a spacious 40-foot Meridian Flybridge designed for group fun on the water. With room for up to 12 guests, two levels of open deck space, a fully equipped interior, and a dedicated stewardess onboard to look after your group, this is one of the most complete charter experiences available in Toronto.
Two Decks, One Unforgettable Experience
The upper flybridge gives you a panoramic view of the Toronto skyline, CN Tower, and the Islands — the perfect perch for sunset photos, cocktails, and good conversations. The expansive front bow fits the entire group comfortably for lounging or photos. Below deck, the air-conditioned cabin keeps everyone comfortable on the hottest summer days.
Stewardess Onboard
What sets this yacht apart: a dedicated stewardess is included with your charter. She’ll handle setup, serve drinks, keep the space tidy, and make sure your group has everything they need — so you can focus on enjoying the experience without lifting a finger.
Fully Equipped Interior
The cabin features everything you need for a full day on the water: a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, stove, freezer, fridge, and ice maker, two comfortable bedrooms for anyone who needs a break, a private washroom with hot water, a nap area for guests who want to recharge, a television for entertainment, charging outlets throughout to keep devices powered, and air conditioning and generator running throughout.
Complimentary Extras
Unlike most charters, this yacht includes extras at no additional cost: ice and water for all guests, light snacks and non-alcoholic beverages, towels and sunscreen. Just bring your own food, drinks, and alcohol — BYOB is fully welcome and encouraged. Bring your favourite playlist and connect via the professional JL Bluetooth sound system.
Where You Can Go
Departing from Downtown Toronto, your captain will customize the route to your group’s preferences. Popular destinations include the Toronto skyline and CN Tower for golden-hour photos, the Toronto Islands for anchoring, swimming, and relaxation, Hanlan’s Beach and surrounding beaches for hot summer days, docking at Toronto Island for a land activity, picnic, or exploring the canals, Cabana Beach Club for a dock-and-dine experience, and the Scarborough Bluffs for dramatic cliffside views.
Personalized routes and custom stops are always welcome — just tell your captain where you want to go.
