    Private Lake Tahoe Photography Boat Charter

    Capture Lake Tahoe from the water with photo stops on a private boat

    5.0 stars• 305 reviews

    Duration

    2 hrs

    Ideal For

    Up to 13 people

    Includes

    Private charter, water

    Highlights

    Explore Lake Tahoe aboard a private boat led by a U.S. Coast Guard-certified captain. Share the ride with your own group as you cruise between scenic locations along the lake.

    • Stop at photogenic spots to capture views from the water
    • Play your favorite music from your phone, or let the captain choose the soundtrack
    • Enjoy a dip if you feel like swimming

    What's Included

    • Water
    • Cooler or refrigerator
    • Captain services and fuel for groups of 6 or fewer

    Important details

    • The primary renter must be at least 21 years old. Every passenger counts toward the group size, regardless of age.
    • Operating the boat yourself under a bareboat rental requires a U.S. Coast Guard Master's license, 100 days of experience on Lake Tahoe, insurance covering the boat and marina, and documentation in advance.
    • Pets are not allowed.
    • For groups of 7–13 using a captain from the referral list, captain services and fuel are not included in the listed price. You'll pay the captain directly upon arrival at $100 per hour, totaling $200 for this charter.
    • Captain gratuity is not included in the listed price.
    • Groups of 7–13 use a bareboat rental arrangement: you rent the boat and select an independent captain or qualified operator.
    • Do not bring glass, red wine, or overly messy foods.
    • Arrive at the marina at least 30 minutes before departure and at the boat 20 minutes before departure. Allow extra time for parking on weekends and holidays. Late arrival shortens your time on the water.

    Cancellation Policy

    Cancel more than 10 days before departure for a full refund. Cancellations within 10 days and no-shows are non-refundable. For July 4 fireworks, Memorial Day weekend, the week of July 4 and Labor Day weekend, cancellations are non-refundable one month prior. Operator cancellations receive a full refund; only the operator determines weather cancellations.

    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.
