The Montreal area supports a number of small ferries for pedestrians and bikes, known as navettes fluviales, or river shuttles. These operate in the summer months only, and even then many are restricted to recreational times—weekends, holidays and specific dates. They are run by local boating operators and supported in part by the recreation budgets of local municipalities.
These are the ones I know about, as of summer 2022, although I have yet to try any myself. The services tend to change from year to year depending on how successful they are. Check the websites of the operators linked below for up to date information.
