The boat slips away from the Old Port and the city exhales—glass façades and steel bridges recede as the Saint Lawrence plays a low, insistent current at the hull. On a 100% electric boat, you glide without engine roar; the river nudges the vessel forward and the guide stitches together stories of commerce, architecture, and the people who shaped Montreal's waterfront.
