It was my wife's 60th birthday
and I wanted to get her something really special.
Viator had this 2 Hour Private Sunset Boat Charter.
It wasn't too expensive and the boat/Captain was all ours
for two hours. He took us around the Lake and showed us
special areas. Then he took us to an area where we
could see the last splinters of sunshine glimmer away
(see photo). It was amazing!

We definitely recommend this charter! It was absolutely beautiful cruising on Lake Tahoe and seeing the sunset. The pictures don't do it justice. So peaceful! A new vantage point to enjoy the beauty of Lake Tahoe. Zack was friendly and engaging. He gave us some interesting facts about Lake Tahoe and pointed out some beaches and hikes that we need to try out. The whole family enjoyed it and it was the highlight of our annual trip to Lake Tahoe.

Great trip! Zach was friendly and informative and met our needs. Definitely one of the highlights of our vacation. Went with my husband, 21-year-old and 13-year-old. Saw the sites and rode the Mabel.

The boat ride was an amazing highlight of our trip to Lake Tahoe. Captain Brandon motored us to Emerald Bay with upclose views of the Tea House Island and the Knight’s mansion. A stunning sunset ride. He shared history of people at the lake, and provided extra blankets for the somewhat chilly evening ride. Excellent service, memorable evening, and a decent price with Boat Tahoe.

We loved seeing Emerald Bay and cruising around the lake.
The sunset and the music playing on the boat was awesome!

The trip was awesome. The captain gave extra effort to align with our requirements and since we’re from India, even came prepared with Bollywood. It really was amazing.
