About

Your private charter can accommodate up to 8 or 10 people (plus captain), depending on the boat. All charters are led by a USCG certified captain, ensuring your safety and enjoyment. Fuel costs are included in the package, but please remember gratuity for our captains is not included and highly appreciated.

Parties Over 6 People - Additional Fees

For parties over 6 passengers USCG Regulations require each charter to be a Bareboat Charter. Bareboat Charters require the captain to be paid separately IN ADDITION to the charter fee. For full details of Bareboat Charters please visit here.

Parties of 6 or less are NOT considered a Bareboat Charter and all captain fees are included in the charter cost.

Each guest, no matter the age, count as passenger.

Where We Go

We'll take you to some of the best spots on Lake Tahoe including Emerald Bay, Vikingsholm Castle, Fannette Island, DL Bliss State Park among others. While we have our favorite spots, your itinerary can be customized if time and weather permit.

What to Bring

Pack essentials like sunscreen, sunglasses, a camera, and a jacket or sweatshirt as it can get chilly on the lake. If you're up for a dip, bring a towel and swimsuit. Feel free to plug in your phone and play your favorite tunes, or let our captain DJ for you. Water is provided, and you're welcome to bring your own food and drinks. A cooler or refrigerator is provided for convenience.

What Not to Bring

To ensure everyone's safety and comfort, we kindly ask that guests refrain from bringing glass, red wine or overly messy foods. Please note that pets are not allowed on the charters.

When to Arrive

We recommend guests arrive at the marina at least 30 minutes before the charter (longer on weekends and holidays) and at the boat 15 minutes prior. Late arrival WILL shorten your time on the lake.

Location

All charters start and end in the Tahoe Keys Marina located in South Lake Tahoe, CA.
