    Excellent boat and captain. We had a great time, the boat was new and clean and we were able to play our own music. The views are amazing! Highlight of our Lake Tahoe trip.

    Captain Troy was excellent and his boat was clean as a whistle. He was very attentive and reached out to us about weather concerns bumping our trip up 30 minutes to avoid the rain.

    It was perfect. Troy was a wealth of knowledge and so nice. Would book again for sure with him. He was cautious and knowledgeable. It was a great day.

    It was great. Captain Troy was very knowledgeable of the history of the Lake. I’ve taken bigger Lake cruises in the past and this cruise was more fun, more intimate and overall a better experience.

    Great way to see Emerald Bay

    Captain Troy took us on an epic tour of the lake. He supplied refreshing beverages and was great company. We all enjoyed our time but my kids were especially pumped to get out on the water. Can't recommend enough!!
