Plan Your Perfect Lake Adventure

The Safari Rose offers an elegant setting for up to 68 guests, accompanied by a professional crew of 3–4. While she can host a full capacity event, many groups prefer a smaller gathering—around 35 guests in the cooler months—to ensure everyone can relax comfortably inside.

Originally crafted in 1959 by the 3M Company, the Safari Rose was built with rich mahogany and teak, showcasing timeless craftsmanship. Awarded “Yacht of the Year” in her debut, this world-traveled vessel now graces the emerald waters of Lake Tahoe, offering your guests an unforgettable backdrop of beauty and history.

Had a great sunset cruise on the Safari Rose! The crew was great and provided great drinks, appetizers, commentary and blankets to enjoy the scenery. Kids enjoyed feeding Jonathan the seagull. Loved the unique boat – highly recommend this!

This cruise around the lake was so beautiful and relaxing! They give you a little history and offer some refreshments. Me and my family had a great time!

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.

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!
