We had Dani helping us out today and she was super informative and helpful. You show up 30 min before your reserved time and she gives you all the best practices do's and dont's and then you are off. For every late minute they charge !10 ouch so keep track of time. She did call to send us a reminder which was very helpful. Service was great. Hot tub came with a cooler, Bluetooth speaker, and a hot tub for you to chill in. They seemed pretty busy throughout the day. We went on the first slot at 11am and it was perfect. Not too cold and right before the wind picked up. Highly recommend for a unique experience in the Bay!

The restaurant is always clean, and the staff is consistently quick and friendly. I usually order the fish and shrimp combo with a side of fried zucchini, and the portions are incredibly generous.

I'm already looking forward to my next visit so I can finally try the clam chowder or one of their burgers.

He makes even the most novice fisherperson feel completely at ease and ensures everyone's needs are met throughout the entire day. I highly recommend them for a fantastic, fun and memorable day on the water!

Lake Tahoe Boat Rides is where it's at! By far the best private charter company around South Lake…read moreTahoe. After we called around all other businesses, such as this, we realized that Lake Tahoe boat rides was the most professional and upfront about their prices. Many companies didn't let me know that fuel and captain fees would be tacked on at after the ride as well as a certain gratuity. Sneaky! Once we arrived at Lake Tahoe, Boat Rides, Lindsay, the owner and everyone else was super friendly and helpful. They have a store with food/drinks, towels etc.. but they tell you in advance that you can pick it up elsewhere. They helped us carry our bags over to the perfectly clean and well maintained boat complete with our own captain who was incredible!!!!! Ask for Steve-O!!!! I do believe no matter who you get as a captain that you will have an amazing experience as we did. Steve-O was friendly and great with our 4 1/2 year-old. He provided just the right amount of history and information as we rode along and also took us to less touristy places that were also beautiful and so worth seeing. We cannot wait to come back and see Lake Tahoe boat rides next summer, and we will definitely be asking for Steve-O.

Dave made this so easy, I give him a few ideas and he cultivated and crafted it to life. I couldn't believe how meticulous and beautiful the day was. My sister was truly brought to tears. There was a customized champagne flute, a customized birthday welcome sign on an easel, fresh flowers, balloons, the colors and decor were honestly all on point!!! We were even able to come up with a chef inspired menu to hit the notes of our food favorites and Dave even has menu customized and laminated for the event. The crewmembers were some of the nicest top-notch service personnel we've ever met. We were even able to come up with a drink menu and they were bartenders on deck too!

They took us out to the center of about a dozen whales and those guys were having a heck of a day. We saw everything from feeding to fluking. We got so close we could see the barnacles on their tails. They were swimming under our boat! I thought it would be scary but it was just fascinating. Captain Smitty was funny and he really knows his stuff. He taught us a bunch about the whales, birds, and seals we saw. We had a great time and will definitely be booking again. Minimum of 4 people to book, and be sure to take your anti-nausea meds if you're prone to sea sickness--Captain Smitty gets you really close to the action, which means waves. Two in our group took dramamine and were just fine.
