    Cancellation Policy

    A $500 deposit is non-refundable. Remaining balance is due and non-refundable 1 month prior. If the Captain or staff cancels for weather safety, you receive a full refund or they will attempt to reschedule. 4th of July and Labor Day firework shows are non-refundable; some holiday periods become non-refundable 1 month prior.

    FAQs

    Yes. An 18% gratuity for the captain and crew is not included in the rate. They prefer Venmo or cash; you can also add it to your credit card. Unpaid gratuity for great service will be added to your card after your tour.

    Arrive 15–30 minutes before your scheduled time to park and find the store. Your captain meets you at or in front of the store and usually takes you down to the boat about 10 minutes before departure. Your tour starts at the time you booked, and they likely can’t extend it if you’re late.

    Traffic and parking can take time, especially on holidays, weekends, and busy summer months. On busy days, you may need to park on the road and walk in. You can drop off passengers and belongings at the store.

    Lake Tahoe Boat Rides delivers consistently exceptional experiences on the water, with a stellar reputation built on knowledgeable captains and outstanding customer service. Guests rave about specific captains like Kim, Scottie, Tommy, Greg, and Dan, who bring the lake's history and geology to life while maintaining a fun, personalized atmosphere. The tours typically include swimming stops at gorgeous spots like Emerald Bay, and many groups enjoy water activities like tubing and skiing. Boats are described as clean, spacious, and comfortable, with complimentary water provided. What really sets this company apart is the exceptional service from start to finish. Lindsey in the office earns special praise for her responsiveness and problem-solving skills, even coordinating alternative arrangements when unexpected issues arise. Captains are consistently praised for being professional yet personable, taking photos for groups, answering questions, and adapting tours to match guests' interests. Families appreciate how captains engage with kids, while groups love the relaxed, customizable vibe. The combination of scenic beauty, educational commentary, and genuine hospitality makes this a standout activity that many call the highlight of their Tahoe trip.

    I didnt actually have the opportunity to use Tahoe Boat Rides because the marina was unexpectedly closed 5 days before my booking. HOWEVER, Lindsay was absolutely AMAZING. We booked the boat to have a small wedding ceremony on and Lindsay coordinated with another boat company to get us booked for the same date and time. The customer service of Tahoe Boat Rides is ELITE
