The majestic St. Lawrence River, which links the Atlantic Ocean to the Great Lakes, runs across the entire territory of Québec and is bordered by numerous cities and villages. Below is information on travelling by ferry, as well as other hints for discovering Québec’s beauty through pleasure boating.
Ferries
Numerous ferries offer year-round or seasonal service on the St. Lawrence River and other major waterways (the Saguenay, Richelieu and Outaouais rivers). A ferry also links the Îles-de-la-Madeleine to Prince Edward Island, while a passenger-freight ship serves the entire Basse-Côte-Nord region between Havre-Saint-Pierre, Île d'Anticosti and Blanc-Sablon. Reservations are recommended, particularly during the peak season.Pleasure boating
