    FAQs

    Yes. If you book for 7 or more passengers, U.S. Coast Guard regulations require a bareboat charter and you must pay the captain and fuel separately in addition to your prepaid charter fee. An additional $100 per hour is due on arrival and paid directly to the captain (cash, Venmo, or Zelle). Group size is based on the number of passengers at booking; if you book 7+ but arrive with fewer, you still owe the extra $100 per hour.

    Bring your own ice. The boat has a cooler or small refrigerator; coolers include an ice pack, but ice isn’t provided.

    No. Use the restroom at the marina near the parking lot before you board. Your captain can stop along the way if needed.

    Meeting details

    All charters start and end in the Tahoe Keys Marina located in South Lake Tahoe, CA.

    We did the tour with Captain Brandon and he was very nice and accommodating. We went around emerald bay and had a great time. My only complaint is that it felt too short. I felt like we didn’t get to swim as much as I would’ve liked because it was time to head back, but he mentioned we can ask about extending the time next time. I think 3 hrs would be better than 2 if you really want to spend time on the water. I would def do this tour again just extend the time.
