Very disappointing experience. We wanted to rent a jet ski for 1 hour ($200), but because of the…read moretime we were only offered 30 minutes for $120, even though that price wasn't posted anywhere. The staff was unfriendly from the start and made us feel unwelcome. Five minutes into our ride, my wife and daughter accidentally entered a restricted area. We understand it was our mistake, but instead of simply explaining the situation, they brought them back to shore, wasting much of our rental time. After that, my wife didn't want to continue, so I went out with my daughter instead. She was so uncomfortable that she kept saying the staff member was going to come back and take us out again, so she couldn't enjoy the ride. Overall, the lack of customer service and the staff's attitude ruined what should have been a fun family experience. They showed no empathy or concern, even though there was a young child with us.

Such a great way to spend a few hours! It's very relaxing and the lake is beautiful. It also gives…read moreme a reason to go to Garwoods and drink a few Wet Woody's before boarding the cruise because the catamaran picks you up at the dock outside of Garwoods. Living in Reno, this has become my favorite way to spend time on the lake and when guests visit in the summer months, I have been taking them on this cruise. I've experienced the Mimosa Cruise and they are great at making sure your cup is constantly refreshed. The charcuterie board was very minimal and basic so I suggest eating before or bringing snacks with you to absorb the mimosas. I have also experienced the live music cruise but 10 min before boarding, I received a text saying the musician had double booked so there would be no live music and they offered $20 a person refund which to me seemed a bit ridiculous since the whole purpose of the live music cruise is live music. I felt like a better refund should have been offered or a coupon for 50% off the next cruise. The captain is a lively man and the two women who help steer the boat and serve drinks are great and a lot of fun. I will add that I before purchasing tickets for the first time, I called and left a message because I wanted to verify where the pickup location would be but no one called me back. Also, though I have fun on the cruise and plan to go again, I am a bit worried about the communication and policy of this company after reading other reviews that their cruise was canceled and they had a hard time getting refunded especially after my experience of no live music on a live music cruise and being told last minute and only receiving a small refund.

Prices are just right and they even honored two discounts. Definitely coming back and next time renting a larger boat for the whole day. If you come to Tahoe you got to go out on the lake.

No getting lost. It also a leisurely 30 minutes to Emerald Bay. A must see. (Eagles!)

Pulled the boat up to Tahoe for the celebrity golf tournament. Great time BTW…read more The Lakeside Marina was in a location close to my hotel and was easy to get in and out. Tahoe price gouging kills me. $50 to launch my boat...okay...$50 more to take it out of the water. Please! I had a few friends that were going to meet me at the marina to jump in the boat. The marina told me they charge $20 or $25 (I can't remember the price) per person to walk in and get on my boat. I am not willing to pay for something like that. I picked them up from a dock near the marina instead. Unfortunately that is Tahoe for you. The ramp was easy to use and it was small so it only held one truck and trailer at a time. Gotta get there early so there is room to park your rig. I'll go there again due to the convenience, but not for a while.

Pictures/footage are available for purchase after. I'd recommend taking a sturdy phone lanyard with you so you can safely take your own photos and videos up in the air. I did book this a week in advance and when called I was told the experience would be 30 mins in air minimum - also on the website. This was not the case as we had some large groups with us and the whole boat ride is an hour so you get at most 8-15 mins. Also, the height in air you select dosent really matter. They don't ask and everyone kind of gets the same ride no matter what they chose. Beware that in the morning it's pretty cold especially in up in the air. You take off your shoes as soon as you board the boat and they do dip your toes in when bringing you back down. Also usually morning trips are less booked since it's colder. Also make sure you're atleast 10 minutes early to have time to sign the waiver paperwork and so you don't miss the boat.

The beach had a lovely atmosphere, beautiful surroundings, and a relaxed family-friendly vibe. Another nice part of the area is that there are plenty of restaurants, ice cream shops, stores, and other places to explore nearby. It is easy to make a full day out of the visit without having to travel far for food or something else to do. I recommend arriving early because parking can fill up quickly. Otherwise, you may have to pay around $20 to park somewhere else or take your chances finding another spot. Overall, we had a great family visit and would gladly return.

Nevertheless, if all you want to do is hang out at the beach, this is the place. Parking in the lot is $10 for the day or $3 for per hour that you can pay at a kiosk.

We decided to take a chance, and I'm really glad we did. The whole process was super easy. We literally just walked up, rented a jet ski for two people, and were out on the water pretty quickly.

There is a designated area you're supposed to stay within, but it wasn't hard to follow at all and there was still plenty of room to have fun. We the best time! If you're looking to rent a jet ski in South Lake Tahoe and you're unsure where to go, I'd definitely recommend this place. Easy process, nice staff, and a really fun experience overall.

But other than that, the group we went with was a blast. It was a great time full of great memories. The company was very professional, and like I said, the captain and the crew were helpful and friendly. They got everyone in up in the air and back safe and sound. They offer a photo package, which is an additional $160 which is quite pricey when you can have someone on the boat take your photos for you. It's definitely a fun experience. Just wish we were up in the air longer than 10 minutes. 10 minutes feels kind of robbed for the amount of money that you paid for.
