Well worth having a captain to guide you to the sweet spots out in the lake! Our captain was very knowledgeable, easy going and made the experience fun for our whole family. “Must Do” experience!!

Great sunset cruise on Lake Tahoe. We boarded around 6:30 after an 80 degree day so the temp was still warm as we left but it got cooler as the sun set so be sure to bring a jacket if you go late spring.

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.
