Much fun had by all
Definitely have them provide a sofa tube to pull behind the boat. The kids have the most fun with that.

Perfect adventure with an experienced friendly captain!
Words cannot describe the custom experience we had with our captain! I’d recommend the 3hr experience which allows for touring, swimming, and water sports! Our girls 12,10,6 all enjoyed tubing at different levels of excitement! The best part of reserving a captain is my wife and I had no stress managing a boat rental - I would give this experience 6 stars and a must to do in Lake Tahoe
