Captain Troy was amazing. He was a wealth of knowledge and navigated us expertly. He was also accommodating with our time slot when I accidentally booked the wrong date. Thank you, Captain Troy! We loved it.

Emerald Bay Cruise

Captain Troy was top notch during this Emerald Bay Cruise! He was very personable, accommodating and made this excursion our favorite part of our Lake Tahoe trip. He gave us history about the lake, as well as stopping and taking family photos. I would highly recommend booking with him if you are considering a Lake Tahoe cruise.

Great trip, beautiful boat, awesome Captain

Captain Troy was great! He was very knowledgeable about the history and took us on a beautiful ride to Emerald cove where we got in the water and took a swim break. The water was very clear you could see your feet! We had a great time! The boat is very nice and well maintained. Thanks Troy for making our day special!
