Yes, our boats are designed differently than most. They have an 8.5-foot-wide beam and 32-inch diameter pontoons, which provide excellent stability. Lake Tahoe is also a very large lake and typically doesn’t have large waves. Since our pontoons are open and spacious, passengers can easily see their surroundings, which can help reduce motion sickness. Lastly, our experienced captains are skilled at navigating around choppy areas and handling waves smoothly.

 We appreciate boating experience, but our Marina contract requires that a US Coast Guard-certified captain must be at the helm. Additionally, Lake Tahoe waters can be tricky at times, and our experienced captains will not only get you to your destination safely and efficiently but will also ensure you have the best possible experience on the lake.

Yes, you can stop and jump off the boat just about anywhere on the lake! The only things our captain will be monitoring are other boat traffic and water conditions—such as large waves—that might make it unsafe to stop at certain spots.

Yes, you can get a full refund if you cancel. If you cancel within 72 hours of your reservation, you’ll receive 50% of your payment back. However, we’re happy to reschedule you for a future date, even if it’s a couple of years down the line!

We recommend taking your time to explore the stunning scenery nearby! of where you pick up your boat..
