The booking process and attention Lyndsay gave with feedback and answering questions was professional and quick. We appreciated the honesty and couldn't have asked for better value in the investment of these memories made! Both charters we were lucky enough to have Captain Heather. When we went out with the kids, she was very patient and kind in helping them learn how to wakeboard. The water was a bit choppy that day, but Captain Heather was gracious enough to find the best possible spots for the kids to have fun! She gave some fun facts as we passed by various locations. When we went out again several days later with our friends, we were happy to have the same level of professionalism and FUN with Captain Heather. She really meshed with our group's vibe and offered us a fun mix of enjoying site-seeing, wakeboarding & tubing, and even a quick stop in at Chamber's Landing! I would absolutely recommend Lake Tahoe Boat Rides and will most definitely book with them again. Thank you to Lyndsay & Heather for being a part of these memories created!!!

Lake Tahoe Boat Rides is where it's at! By far the best private charter company around South Lake…read moreTahoe. After we called around all other businesses, such as this, we realized that Lake Tahoe boat rides was the most professional and upfront about their prices. Many companies didn't let me know that fuel and captain fees would be tacked on at after the ride as well as a certain gratuity. Sneaky! Once we arrived at Lake Tahoe, Boat Rides, Lindsay, the owner and everyone else was super friendly and helpful. They have a store with food/drinks, towels etc.. but they tell you in advance that you can pick it up elsewhere. They helped us carry our bags over to the perfectly clean and well maintained boat complete with our own captain who was incredible!!!!! Ask for Steve-O!!!! I do believe no matter who you get as a captain that you will have an amazing experience as we did. Steve-O was friendly and great with our 4 1/2 year-old. He provided just the right amount of history and information as we rode along and also took us to less touristy places that were also beautiful and so worth seeing. We cannot wait to come back and see Lake Tahoe boat rides next summer, and we will definitely be asking for Steve-O.

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.

We ended up choosing Tahoe Experience because Bret was so positive, patient, and offered great prices. On the boat, we had Chris, a freelance captain who works with Bret. Chris was a joy to be around. He was super relaxed, funny, and kind. He took great care of us during our boat rental. The ride to Emerald Drive took about 30 minutes, and we spent an hour there before heading back. Sadly, I got hurt while paddleboarding. It was all my fault since it was my first time. Chris helped me out of the water, took care of my scrapes, and drove us back to shore safely. He even gave us the closest emergency hospital details and offered to refund half of the agreed amount. We were so grateful for his help and really appreciated his kindness. Bret texted me to check in and say he was sorry about what happened. Bret and Chris are truly amazing people to work with. Even though I was at fault, we had a blast meeting Chris and having him as our captain. I definitely plan to reach out to Bret again when I visit Tahoe in the future and would highly recommend his services to anyone who comes to the area.

This was also my first time to South Tahoe. From exploring different areas of Lake Tahoe to discovering hidden waterfalls that felt like the perfect cold plunge, every moment was an adventure. The boat itself was the total package, with a slide, paddleboards, spacious lounging decks, and so many fun amenities. Bret brought the perfect mix of adventure, rich history of the area, and fun. He even encouraged some of the girls to step outside their comfort zones and experience things they normally would not do. Whether that was taking an "hike" up to the teahouse or jumping off the boat! I truly cannot recommend this experience enough. If you are planning a bachelorette/ bachelor trip, or simply love adventure, good vibes, and getting out on the water, this is an absolute must! Bret made our Lake Tahoe experience that much more memorable, and I would 1000% do it all over again. Thank you to The Tahoe Experience team and captain Bret for memories that will last a lifetime!

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!

A few pointers: 1) If you book a single kayak, you will still use a double kayak. You will just be by yourself. I'm older and don't kayak often, so this was a little challenging. I had expected a one-person kayak. They did offer to pull me or have the boat pick me up if I got tired. I made it through without assist, but it's easier if you have someone to paddle with you. 2) The water is normally calmer in the mornings, so book the early tour if possible. 3) They take a pic of you in your kayak in the water, which is super nice. Lots of fun! Great Crew!

It was neat to be out on the water with the kayaks glowing, and the sunset on the water from the kayaks were stunning. Stunning. It was a little disappointing that most of the tour was in the marina and the river. You really don't get the clear Tahoe water tour that's promoted in the pictures. Wish that would have been explained and maybe pushed us to go a different route to get the real Lake Tahoe views/experience. I would definitely use Clearly Tahoe again, but I would pick a different tour.
