About Sail Tahoe Blue

Sail Tahoe Blue is a South Lake Tahoe sailing operation offering scenic two-hour cruises on Lake Tahoe. Operating from South Lake Tahoe, Sail Tahoe Blue runs public sails — Morning Cruise, High Noon Cruise, Afternoon Cruise, and Sunset Cruise — alongside private charters tailored for weddings and special events. Each scheduled cruise lasts approximately two hours and follows routes shaped by prevailing winds, creating a different itinerary on every trip.

Beverage service varies by sail: morning cruises include mimosas, while afternoon and high noon sails offer local beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options; sunset cruises feature premium local beer and wine. Private charters provide beer, wine, and non-alcoholic beverages and are designed for groups seeking a memorable celebration on the water.

Sail Tahoe Blue is featured on The Adventure Collective, where guests can find descriptions and booking information. Photographers and sightseers are encouraged to bring cameras and dress in layers for changing mountain weather. The company emphasizes the natural beauty of Lake Tahoe’s shoreline, alpine vistas, and wind-powered sailing experiences.

Guests planning special events can inquire about private charter options tailored to weddings and celebrations. For clear expectations, each offering is presented with its typical duration, beverage options, and route variability due to wind.
