Discover the thrill of boating and water sports on Lake Tahoe with 25' Cobalt rentals. Perfect for groups ready to uncover hidden coves or ride the waves.
Lakeside Marina is a full-service water recreation operator on Lake Tahoe offering a wide range of rentals and guided experiences. The marina's fleet includes multiple powered boats — including 25' Cobalt, 20' Regal, 21' Chaparral, 24' Regal arch boats, 21ft Regal OBX, 19' Four Winns tower, and a 25' Crest pontoon — plus personal watercraft and beach toy rentals. Parasailing flights are offered at 500, 800, and 1000-foot options with a crew that brings over 20 years of parasailing experience.
Boat rentals accommodate groups and families, with options that serve roughly 6 to 13 passengers depending on the vessel. Jet ski rentals provide high-adrenaline rides for couples or small groups (up to three per craft). Beach toys, kayaks, stand-up paddleboards, pedal boats, kneeboards, and wakeboards are all available for single or multi-person adventures. Flexible rental durations make it simple to plan a morning cruise, a full-day outing, or an evening sunset trip.
Safety and local knowledge are central to the marina's approach: certified staff, routine boat maintenance, and clear safety briefings ensure each trip starts prepared. Popular routes include Emerald Bay and quiet coves ideal for swimming, tubing, and shoreline picnics. Booking and equipment selection are designed to match experience level — from first-time riders to seasoned wakeboarders. Lakeside Marina focuses on reliable gear, experienced crews, and the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe to create memorable, repeatable outdoor adventures.
