An additional $100 per hour is due upon arrival and paid directly to your captain. If you book 7+ but arrive with fewer people, you still owe the additional $100 per hour.
No. Use the restroom at the marina near the parking lot before you board. If needed, you can stop along the way.

Boat charters on Lake Tahoe don't get much better than this. The captains here, particularly Zach (who's also the owner), Brandon, Chad, Adam, and Duncan, consistently earn praise for being knowledgeable, laid-back, and genuinely fun to spend time with on the water. They clearly know the lake inside and out, sharing fascinating local history and taking guests to stunning spots while maintaining a relaxed vibe that lets the day unfold naturally. What stands out is how customizable the experience feels. Groups have done everything from peaceful sunset cruises and memorial services to action-packed bachelor and bachelorette parties with tubing and wake surfing. Captains are happy to mix sightseeing with water activities, take photos (Zach apparently flies a drone too), and adjust the itinerary based on what guests want. The booking process gets mentioned as smooth and responsive, which matters when you're coordinating a special occasion. Several reviewers specifically note they're planning return trips or would recommend a longer charter time, which says plenty about the quality of the experience you'll get on Tahoe's gorgeous waters.
Adam was an awesome captain and guide! He was so informative and gave us options to somewhat customize our experience.
