Choose Your Lake Tahoe Water Activities

Your captain will help choose the best location and order for the day based on wind, waves, and boat traffic. You and your group are free to focus on one favorite sport or rotate through several, as long as your charter length and conditions allow.

Tubing on Lake Tahoe

Lake Tahoe tubing is a good starting point for families and groups with different experience levels. Our popular, multi-person couch-style tube lets riders sit together, and the captain can adjust the ride to your group. Once the boat is safely anchored, the tube can double as a float for a more relaxing activity.

Water Skiing on Lake Tahoe

Water skiing on Lake Tahoe is available with single and double skis in child, youth, and adult sizes, subject to our current inventory. Your captain can help with equipment setup and technique before each run. Experienced riders can spend more of the charter behind the boat when conditions cooperate.

Wake Boarding in Lake Tahoe

Wakeboarding in Lake Tahoe offers a more technical challenge for those who are up for some adventure! Wakeboards are available in multiple sizes, and your captain can help each rider get set up. Anyone who would rather stay aboard can enjoy the ride or join the group during a swim stop.

Snorkeling on Lake Tahoe

Wetsuits and snorkeling gear are available in a range of sizes, subject to current inventory. Ask about sizing when you book, especially if children plan to participate.

Enjoy Lake Tahoe Water Sports with an Experienced Local Captain

Local knowledge makes a big difference during Lake Tahoe water activities! Wind, waves, and summer boat traffic can affect every aspect of your day on the water. Your dedicated local captain will be on board for your entire charter, handling navigation and towing, helping with equipment, and offering technique guidance so everyone can have a good time.

Every charter requires an approved U.S. Coast Guard-licensed Master Captain. We require all of our captains to hold a valid Merchant Mariner Credential, participate in a U.S. Coast Guard-approved drug and alcohol testing program, and maintain CPR and first-aid certification, so you can rest assured that you’re in good hands.

Combine Water Sports with a Private Lake Tahoe Tour

Not everyone has the stamina for a full day of non-stop water sports, and that’s okay! On a longer charter, your group can add swimming, spend time in a quiet cove, or even take a Lake Tahoe sightseeing cruise between runs. Emerald Bay is close to the Tahoe Keys departure point, so if you have the time, it’s the perfect addition to a day on the lake.

Tell the team what your group hopes to do when you book, and we’ll do everything in our power to make it happen. We always try to build a realistic plan around the length of your reservation and the conditions on the lake, with flexibility built in.
