The Motor Vessel Island Princess is a Florida Style Motor Yacht. She is 65 feet long by 22 feet wide, making her one of the most stable vessels in her class. The Island Princess has two levels, a lower and upper deck. The lower deck including main cabin and walk around can accommodate over 80 guests. Fully equipped with an LCBO licensed bar and elegant food counters, the lower level features a brand new walk around which encircles the entire vessel. The new walk around is extremely unique and allows passengers to stand along the railings while enjoying the breathtaking sceneries of Toronto's Skyline, the Toronto Islands, Humber Bay, Ontario Place as well as many Yacht Clubs and their luxurious yachts. The walk around is also the perfect venue for watching dazzling fireworks on summer nights. This new addition is a huge hit with our customers, allowing for open air and sunshine to be a part of their cruise. The upper deck can accommodate and additional 40 to 60 guests and features a stylish sunroof dance floor. It includes a new sunshine deck where guests can unwind in the warm sunshine and loosen to the fresh air. The upper deck also houses the ship’s Wheel House. Passengers are always welcome to visit Captain Bob Muran, and under his watchful eyes try their hand at steering the ship. Our staff, hand picked for their people skills and experience in the hospitality industry is able to create an atmosphere of warmth and caring only possible in a family run operation.

Captain Bob Muran, a Canadian Coast Guard Licensed Capitan (Lic.#85306) started out as a sailor and boat rental operator in Toronto's High Park in 1969. After 18 years of successful, safe and accident free operation, Bob began a charter boat service in Toronto's Harbour with the M.V. Golden Girl. A few years later he purchased Fascination, a professional Sport Salmon Fishing Rig. Both proved to be very successful, departing daily from Toronto's Harbour. Soon after, Bob operated the M.V. Majesty, a 65-foot Classic Presidential Motor Yacht that carried 32 passengers.

Today, Bob Muran is Captain to the Island Princess, a family owned and operated cruise boat that has been touring the great waters of Lake Ontario since 1982. The Island Princess is certified by the Canadian Coast Guard and fully licensed by the L.C.B.O. In addition, every crew member is highly qualified for the duties they perform. Last year, our vessel went through a series of changes and improvements which enabled it to operate with a capacity of 100 passengers. Captain Bob Muran’s top priority remains his passenger’s safety and well-being, therefore he and his entire crew go through extensive training on a regular basis. This includes Marine First Aid, Advanced Life Saving, Fire Fighting, Passenger Evacuation and Crowd Control along with other instruction involving passenger safety. His staff also perform routine drills aboard the Island Princess to ensure the safest on-deck environment. During the winter, Captain Bob is a professional skier and racing coach.
