Testimonials
Charlie, Lochlin, and Chris were absolutely phenomenal! Charlie has so much knowledge about Lake Tahoe, and Chris and Lochlin were incredibly welcoming and attentive the whole tour! 10/10 would recommend!
Such a nice cruise. The captain and crew are extremely friendly and then included interesting information on the lake and different features. Captain Charlie even pointed out an osprey to us
This was the best boat cruise! Very kid friendly and absolutely spectacular view! My daughter even got to drive the boat! We saw awesome wildlife and on top of it all the best most nicest lady hostess who was so friendly to all of us!
This is a cruise with an experienced and professional crew! I appreciated being able to specify the location for the cruise to go, rather than just the standard Emerald Bay back and forth. We were able to cater our event and not worry about a thing, just enjoy the wind and views!
I would highly recommend this for anyone looking for a quality event on the water.
