Explore Lake Tahoe on a 2-hour private boat charter aboard a 25 ft Chris Craft Launch 25. Cruise with a USCG-certified captain and customize your route if time and weather permit.
Parties over 6 passengers are a Bareboat Charter and must pay the captain separately in addition to the charter fee; clarify the amount with Greetwell before booking. Each guest counts as a passenger, no matter the age. No pets, and please do not bring glass, red wine, or overly messy foods.
Cancel more than 10 days before your booking for a full refund. Cancel within 10 days or no-show: no refund. Full refund for all cancellations made/determined by Boat Tahoe. Weather cancellations are determined by Boat Tahoe only. Holiday dates are non-refundable one month prior.
Yes. If you book for 7–8 passengers, United States Coast Guard (USCG) 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 your captain. 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 be at the boat 20 minutes prior. If you arrive late, your time on the lake will be shorter.
No. Use the restroom at the marina near the parking lot before you board. If needed, your captain can stop along the way.
All charters start and end in the Tahoe Keys Marina located in South Lake Tahoe, CA.
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.
