Our boat tour was everything we could have asked for. Brandon was great showing us the beautiful parts of Lake Tahoe, took us tubing, and to some pretty epic rock jumping spots for the kids. Highly recommend!

This tour is the best!!! I'm a local and I had some friends coming into town and wanted them to have the best Tahoe experience possible. I contacted them because they have a stellar reputation in town and I really wanted a captain that could take us to the best spots and show us around. It was the highlight of my friends time in Tahoe and our captain was full of knowledge and knew exactly how to cater the experience to our group that included 3 toddlers and 4 adults. After this experience I wouldn't go with anyone else and would always book and experience with a captain as it really made the experience for us and our friends.

My kids and I had the best time and had the best captain. Zack was so nice and good with my kids and even let us pick our own music making it feel really customized to us. We had the perfect day and will cherish the experience of seeing Lake Tahoe on a beautiful boat with someone who could answer all our questions and show us all the cool spots! Would definitely recommend and do it again!

This was 100% worth it! Our tour captain, Zach, was amazing! he was super nice to us and asked us what we wanted to do, took us to the spots we asked him for. let us play our music, told us about history of Emerald Bay and it's structures, and we had a lot of fun doing the tubing activity. We had a blast on this tour, we'll definitely do it again! Best 2 hours of our trip, wish we have had more time, but next time!

Our group so enjoyed our six hour excursion with Brandon! We got to see the entire lake, anchored at a few amazing coves, boulder jumped and got water skiing and tubing in. Highly recommend!!!

If you’re ever at Lake Tahoe, get with them! Our recent experience was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment we boarded their well-maintained and comfortable boat, we were greeted with warm hospitality and professionalism by Zack. The knowledgeable guide provided fascinating insights into the lake’s history, geology, and wildlife, making the tour both educational and enjoyable. The highlight was undoubtedly the breathtaking scenery—crystal-clear waters, majestic mountains, cabins, emerald bay and hidden coves and cliffs that are best appreciated from the water. The tour was well-paced, allowing ample time for photos and even just relaxing in the refreshing lake. Safety was clearly a priority, with thorough briefings and life jackets provided. A unique highlight of our tour was our guide’s enthusiasm for drones just as much as us. As an avid fan, he shared his passion with us and even gave us the opportunity to fly our drone over the lake. With his expert pointers, we captured some stunning aerial footage. Whether you’re a local or a visitor, this tour offers an unforgettable way to explore one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience Lake Tahoe from a unique perspective. Lastly, Zack let my son play his choice of music the whole time we were on the boat and that was just the cherry on top of it all for my son.

We booked a 3 hour tour before arriving in Tahoe. Zach was a great tour guide and gave us the perfect mix of sightseeing and fun. In fact we had a such a great time we booked again for our last day in town. It is such a great way to appreciate South Lake Tahoe. We feel like family now and can’t wait to come back to Tahoe and book again!!
