Discover Lake Tahoe’s beauty from a double-decker pontoon boat with Battle Born Boat Rentals. Swim, slide, paddleboard, and cruise iconic spots like Emerald Bay in style.
South Lake Tahoe, located on the California-Nevada border, is world-renowned for its crystal-clear waters, rugged mountainous backdrop, and ample outdoor recreation opportunities. Among the best ways to experience this stunning alpine lake is aboard a private pontoon boat rental from Battle Born Boat Rentals. Specializing in double-decker pontoons equipped with thrilling water slides, paddle boards, and floating lily pads, Battle Born delivers an elevated lake adventure perfect for families, friends, or celebratory groups.
What sets Battle Born apart is its expert captains, who combine local knowledge with genuine hospitality. Captains like Steve, Paul, and Chris guide guests gently through the lake’s iconic locations such as Emerald Bay and Rubicon Bay—two of Tahoe’s most breathtaking and tranquil spots. Emerald Bay, with its serene coves and granite cliffs, offers spectacular views of Fannette Island, the lake’s only island, while Rubicon Bay’s striking shoreline is ideal for anchoring and enjoying water activities.
The boats themselves are spacious and designed for fun and comfort, providing plenty of room for groups up to 11 or more. The water slide is a highlight for kids and adults alike, creating unique access to the refreshing, clear water. Paddleboards and floating lily pads add another dimension of active play. Guests often talk about cliff jumping spots, small hidden coves, and the crisp, clean mountain water as unforgettable features of the day.
The team’s professionalism begins the moment you book, with owner Ross guiding every rental detail including parking, meeting spots, and ensuring everyone feels comfortable with the boat’s amenities. This dedication makes Battle Born Boat Rentals a standout choice for anyone visiting South Lake Tahoe who wants to experience the lake in a unique and memorable way.
