A nice tour with friendly staff. I booked it after searching for luxury tours. The boat was nice for sure, but the seating wasn’t so comfortable. We tried the top deck, forward, and ended up inside which was fine. I’ve been on several luxury boats/yachts before so I was comparing to those experiences of having lots of room and comfortable seating. It wasn’t quite that experience. But this was a good tour of the beautiful lake.

The tour was excellent. The captain and crew were very friendly and entertaining. Saw some gorgeous sights of the lake and bay. It's a great experience to be on the water. Would definitely recommend to everyone to take this tour while visiting Lake Tahoe.

I recommend this activity because it teaches you a lot about Emerald Bay; the history of the bay and how it came to be, the people that lived there before our time and the history that it brought to the community. I also encourage people to shop local and support local businesses, it's the American way to help each other out and to support local economies, communities and businesses. Buy American!
