Wakeboard Charters on Big Bear Lake with Designated Wakesports

Big Bear Lake, in California’s San Bernardino Mountains, offers an invigorating freshwater escape framed by thick forests and rugged peaks. It’s here that Designated Wakesports provides a distinctive way to experience the lake’s wide-open waters: private wakeboard boat charters aboard their legacy fleet. While the boats are a few years older than the company’s premier fleet, the promise of a thrilling day on the water remains fully intact—combining affordability with quality and expert guidance.

Set against a backdrop of striking granite outcroppings and pine-scented air, the lake’s crystal-clear surface creates open playgrounds for wakeboarding, wakesurfing, water skiing, or tubing. Designated Wakesports factors in all levels of skill, offering personalized instruction from captains who double as expert coaches, guiding novices through the basics and helping seasoned riders sharpen their tricks.

Flying across the wakes, you’ll find the buoyant energy of Big Bear’s outdoor culture shining through. The lake is a well-loved destination, long prized for its mix of serene mountainous scenery and adrenaline-rich watersports uniquely suited to California’s inland high country. This charter experience distinguishes itself by allowing groups up to six to share the lake on their own schedule, ensuring a truly private and flexible session.

Beyond the water, the surrounding area is rich with local flora like Jeffrey pines and manzanita, and occasional sightings of bald eagles and osprey remind riders of the wildness enveloping the lake. Designated Wakesports plays a key role by fostering a responsible connection to this delicate ecosystem, balancing recreation with conservation.

Whether you’re looking to kick off your first wakeboarding lesson or carve powerful slices through Big Bear’s famed glassy wakes, this legacy fleet charter offers an approachable, authentic taste of wakesports adventure in California’s mountain lake setting.
