South Lake Tahoe, California, offers some of the most stunning and serene natural beauty in the United States, and Lake Tahoe Bleu Wave provides an unforgettable way to experience it. This private boat charter takes you on a smooth, scenic cruise across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe, with highlights including Emerald Bay, a breathtaking cove with deep blue waters surrounded by forested granite cliffs and famous for its unique ecosystem and striking views. The experience aboard the Bleu Wave is elevated by the knowledgeable and warm crew, led by Captain Augie and first mate Josh, who combine expert navigation with engaging storytelling about the lake’s history, geography, and local culture. Captain Augie often points out fascinating details, such as the original Washoe name for Tahoe — 'Da Ow Ga' — adding a meaningful cultural perspective to the adventure.
The Bleu Wave is a beautifully refurbished boat, preserving its classic look while offering modern amenities including a well-stocked bar, spacious seating areas both inside and on the bow, and two bathrooms to maximize comfort. The cruise includes opportunities for guests to break the ice on the lake in Emerald Bay, take stunning photos with guided stops, and enjoy a lively but relaxed atmosphere with music that matches the mood, from peaceful to upbeat.
