    Bachelorette Girls
    Jenna B.

    Katoma totally saved a bachelorette party I was a part of! We had rented a boat from a different company and they called the night before and canceled our trip due to boat issues. We were able to get ahold of Tom at Katoma and he had one boat available and was able to rent it to us. He even drove us for the day so that we could enjoy a few drinks. He taught us how to wake surf. He took us to the Beacon for Rum Runners. He put up with our shenanigans and was a really stand up guy. Thanks Tom for saving the day! The boat was absolutely beautiful. We had the best time! The only bummer is that you have to uber to Cave Rock to get on the boat. There is NO parking.

    Tahoe Cruises at the Ski Run Marina had so many excursions to choose from, from kayaking, jet skis,…read morecruises and power boat rentals of all sizes. My kids chose the 2-hour Class C - 20 feet open Bow Speed Boat ($478). I thought we would have a driver with us to take us out but no.... They showed my kids how the boat operates, took us out to the open water, and let us loose! There was eight of us on board. It was beautiful out on the water, with the rocking waves, and beautiful scenery and sky. But not when you have my kids driving it like a race car on water. We were rocking like crazy and we all got wet. Especially my grandchildren sitting at the front, who were drenched! I told my kids to slow down, but they say, "he said we could floor it." OMG!! The kids had to put on life jackets and the adults were told there are emergency life jackets on board. Well, with my kids enjoying what the boat can do, I threw on my life jacket! I admit, my kids are very responsible drivers on land. They had so much fun driving the boat in the wide open lake. As scared as I was of possibly being overtaken by waves or capsizing, it was an amazing experience, and it felt so good out there. Absolutely beautiful!! I really enjoyed it, and the staff were great. They know exactly what they're doing. The water started to get kind of choppy, so we ventured back towards the shore after an hour, called them on the radio, and staff came out on a dingy to help dock the boat so that we can safely get out. I am so glad I went on this excursion. If you love the water and drifting up and down with the waves, this is a must try!

We went on the 2PM cruise today and had fantastic weather for a lake cruise. They advised us to start lining up around 1:30p, started boarding around 1:45p and were promptly cruising following key safety messages. Key things to note below: -There is available seating toward the front outside, if you appreciate some sun and a cool breeze these may be the seats for you! -Guests moved in and out throughout the cruise, we opted to stay in for most of it but had no issues moving around outside to take photos comfortably. -Snacks and drinks are available for purchase onboard. -They had comfy blankets available inside to take outside to keep warm (very nice touch and they appeared to be very clean) -They did a great job slowing down in Emerald Bay and highlighting wildlife nearby for viewing and photography. -Don't forget to bring cash to tip the well-deserving crew! -We had a cool mix of tourists and locals to chat with on the cruise. -There are padded bench style seats indoor and plastic chairs as well. The upper deck also had seating (no shade up top aside from some in the front) -There are restrooms on board, I didn't use them but they were available. Highly recommend for a relaxing and informative cruise around South Lake Tahoe & Emerald Bay. Will definitely cruise again on our next visit to South Lake Tahoe. Star employee - The gal in the ticket office helped us as our tickets printed oddly. She confirmed we were on the list and would be able to board without it. She was so friendly & set a cheerful tone for the day. :) Note, I typically never write reviews this quickly but they did an amazing job and we had a few minutes to spare before dinner nearby. :) Happy Sailing!

    A++++++. We had a great experience. We were in town for a dance competition and found this rental…read moreon Apple Maps. Was able to communicate and book everything through text message. Told me where to meet and gave me a few tips about the lake. We really enjoyed the Emerald Bay and Rubicon Point. Emerald Bay had a cool island with a fort at the top and the girls loved jumping off the small cliff into the lake. Rubicon had amazing blue waters that were crystal clear to the bottom and great for swimming. The boat was not perfect shape but was perfect for our party and what we wanted to do. We didn't have any issues and I would recommend this rental to anyone looking for a great day on the lake. It ran great and had everything we needed. Had life jackets / Bluetooth speakers / tube and rope (we didn't use). Thank You, Brad C - Michigan

While both of his boats were already booked for the day we were looking to charter, Shan immediately called his brother, Dan, to confirm that his boat was still available. Shan called me right back and instructed me to call Dan to go over details. Both were informative, quick to respond to text messages and answered all of my calls. Well priced compared to all of the options in the area we we were given an additional option for Dan to captain at a reasonable rate. We decided to charter for the full day and everything went perfectly and smoothly. Highly recommend and will call them again when I return. Thank you, Dan & Shan.

Looked to Yelp to help me find a tour that worked for us and happy to find Tahoe Lake Tours! Booking online was easy enough. Looking on Wednesday for a Friday morning time slot and there it was: 9:30-1:30 was perfect. The web site states exactly what will happen during the 4 hours and offers a phone number to call for questions. Parking and check in were easy and Captain Dan was ready for us. The boat was clean and well stocked with life jackets that fit for both adults and children (ages 8,6,4) as well as water bottles. Before leaving the dock we were offered water for a cooler which we didn't need but the offer was appreciated. Our 4 hours: 1. Safety information 2. Review of our preferences for the tour 3. Lots of history of the area as we toured 4. Emerald Bay & Mrs. Knights castle 5. Water tubing (first time for the grandkids) 6. Hang out time for a snack (we brought lots LOL) 7. Back to the marina Dan was very knowledgeable and great with the kids. We would definitely book with Tahoe Lake Tours again and request Captain Dan. Thank you for a great ending to our week in Tahoe!

Captain Troy was accommodating, kind, hospitable, professional and knowledgeable. He took us to breathtaking sites including Emerald Bay, Fannette Island, Vikingsholm, and Rubicon Bay. We enjoyed swimming in the crystal water and never felt rushed. He provided swim floaties, a cooler with cold beverages, and let us take our time to have so much fun. He even called in advance to accommodate a better start time to ensure we had the best weather. We could not have asked for a more perfect day. Booking was easy and he answered all my questions beforehand. We highly recommend this company.
