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!

It included a shuttle ride to Ski Run Blvd Marina where we boarded the Safari Rose. The captain and crew were amazing! They served light hors d'oeuvres, they had a bar on board as well. The views were amazing! We went from the marina to Emerald Bay and back. This is definitely a must try in South Lake! The only hiccup was the delivery of the mobile tickets and there was not a lot of information about how to obtain them. I tried calling all the numbers that were listed through Golden Nugget but no one returned my call. Once this gets ironed out, it would definitely be a 5-star experience.

Because it's a small, owner operated business, you get a level of personal care and attention that you just don't find with the big commercial rental fleets. The owner runs and handles everything himself, and he was so wonderful to work with very thorough, incredibly accommodating, and clearly cares deeply about making sure you have a safe and amazing time on the water. The equipment was in fantastic shape, and the whole process was seamless. If you're looking to get out on Tahoe, look no further. I will definitely be renting from him again!

The kids had the time of their lives on the slides/lilly pad and are already asking if we can do it again. We got to swim in the most beautiful water that we wouldn't have had access to if we didn't have the boat or a great captain to show us the way. I've got to admit that I was kind of nervous to go out on the lake with the kids prior to the trip, but I was able to relax quickly after sensing that Jarod clearly had things under control. Feeling safe out on the lake was HUGE for us mamas onboard. We can't thank you enough, Jarod Core memories were for sure made today.

He was a great guide and catered our time to accommodate a quick swim off the boat in addition to sightseeing. I appreciate that BayWatch was clear and upfront about additional holiday charges and communicated well about possible traffic during this busy holiday weekend to make sure we didn't miss out on our time slot. Highly recommend as they are one of the few that offer boats that can accommodate 12 passengers compared to other options!

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!

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.

With only 12 people on our tour, we weren't crowded on the 1953 Cris Craft wooden boat --what a classic! Kelsey gave us 8 different wines that were all high quality, providing a nice overview of each. She is funny and personable. We liked one sample so much we shared a full bottle at the end. The cost was appropriate for the generous number of tasting pours. The sunset tour passed by Camp Richardson then to Emerald Bay, where we got a nice history of the castle and area. It did not feel rushed at all. Definitely recommend this tour!
