What an incredible tour. Another group canceled at the last minute and our Captain still led the tour even though there were only 3 of us onboard. Captain Augustine was knowledgeable and personable. He steered the boat smoothly and you could tell he loves his job. First Mate Josh was friendly and knowledgeable. He made our tour memorable. We could not have asked for a better crew. The boat was in pristine condition and a delight to be aboard. We are so grateful that we chose this tour and recommend it highly for a must do activity in Lake Tahoe.
