We had a wonderful time on the 2 hour boat cruise. We spent an hour on a scenic tour of the lake seeing emerald bay and getting close to the castle. For the second hour, our captain was wonderful about getting the kids out on tubes and the adults out waterskiing. We recommend it for anyone wanting a personalized tour of the lake.
We had an amazing experience with Boat Tahoe and our captain Zach! The boat was beautiful, and Zach did an incredible job showing us around the lake and providing water activity options for us. We will definitely be booking with them again! Highly recommend!
Great experience! They were able to work in our schedule. Kids got to take a refreshing dip in the water and go for a tube ride. We made great memories for our 2026 vacation. Thank you!!
Had a great time on the boat tour. Was an awesome memory for the family and the guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
Great boat tour! Highly recommend -- absolutely worth the price. Very comfortable. Knowledgable tour guide.
We did a 2-hour charter boat tour with Captain Brandon, and it was hands down one of the highlights of our trip! Brandon was laid back, knowledgeable, and an amazing tour guide. From fascinating lake facts to spotting osprey nests, his expertise really made the experience special. After the tour, he gave us fantastic recommendations for places to eat in South Tahoe, which were spot on. We went tubing (which was a blast!) and stopped in a cove near Emerald Bay with gorgeous turquoise waters where we could jump off the back of the boat to swim at our leisure. Brandon took photos for us so we could enjoy the moment without worrying about capturing it ourselves. Doing this early in your trip is a great idea – we went on our first full morning in Tahoe and it set the tone for the rest of our vacation. If you’re on the fence, go for it – worth every penny!
We had the best time out on the water! Our captain, Chad, was the absolute best! We cannot wait to get out on the water again next year.
Chad was a kind tour guide and we had a fantastic time. He guided us to avoid the rain and he showed us all the historical and beautiful spots! Thanks!!
Chad was our captain and he was awesome. It was amazing and he was so fun and knowledgeable about the lake!we swam, cliff jumped and took so many pictures!
Zach was amazing. He was fun, so informative and we had a great afternoon!! We would book with them again without hesitation!
