5.00Fabulous experience. Chill day on the water, delightful cruise. Cam shared curated commentary and music. He was friendly, and responsive to our questions about boating and the beautiful Lake Tahoe. The boat was immaculate too! Our group of eight women from Georgia has a wonderful time.

5.00We loved the ease of meeting Captain Cam at a local marina where we seamlessly got on the boat. It was beautiful! All new technology, beautiful seats, we couldn't feel rough waters because the boat glided through and handled so well. We didn't have a plan, but Captain Cam was so knowledgable and knew just the right places to go for this family of 6 guests. (we had room for more) It was a gorgeous, sunny day, We packed a cooler and brought sandwiches which was nice, but Cam was ready with coolers filled with ice for us to fill! We engaged Cam and asked him a lot of questions about the Lake and its history. Cam had interesting adventures to share and knew a lot about the area. I totally recommend this company to anyone wanting to get out on the water for the day!
July 4th Weekend Boat Ride

5.00Cam was our captain on the trip, and he did a fantastic job! We were taken to a very scenic (and quieter) part of the lake, allowing us to jump into the water. The boat itself was highly spacious (even able to accommodate 1 more person than the listing even recommended) with more than enough room for everyone to sit and lay their belongings out. Despite our booking being one of the busiest days of the year (the July 4th weekend) Cam did a great job communicating with us and navigating all of the traffic.
