Explore Lake Tahoe on a private 27 ft pontoon boat with a USCG-certified captain. Customize your route as time and weather permit, with stops that may include Emerald Bay, Vikingsholm Castle, and more.
For parties over 6 passengers, US Coast Guard regulations require a Bareboat Charter and the captain must be paid separately in addition to the charter fee (confirm the amount with Greetwell before booking). Glass, red wine, overly messy foods, and pets are not allowed. Each guest counts as a passenger, regardless of age.
Cancel more than 10 days prior for a full refund. Cancellations within 10 days and no shows are non-refundable. Holiday cancellations (4th of July Fireworks, Memorial Day Weekend, Week of 4th of July, Labor Day Weekend) are non-refundable one month prior. Full refund if Boat Tahoe cancels; weather cancellations are determined by Boat Tahoe only.
Yes. For parties over 6 passengers, US Coast Guard regulations require a Bareboat Charter, which means you pay the captain separately in addition to the prepaid charter fee. An additional $100 per hour is due upon arrival and paid directly to your captain (cash, Venmo, or Zelle). Group size is based on the number of passengers at the time of booking; if you book 7+ but arrive with fewer, you still owe the additional $100 per hour.
Arrive at the marina at least 30 minutes before your charter (longer on weekends and holidays) and plan to be at the boat 20 minutes prior. If you arrive late, your time on the lake will be shortened.
No. Use the restroom at the marina near the parking lot before boarding. Your captain can stop along the way if needed.
All charters start and end in the Tahoe Keys Marina located in South Lake Tahoe, CA.
