Visited Tahoe for a bachelorette, we had an amazing time on the lake with Brett as our captain. Coolest boat with all the accessories, lily pad, slide, paddle board. The drone photos and video were icing on the cake! Highly recommend.

This boat outing was incredible. Our family really enjoyed it. Bret, our captain, was super nice and told us a lot of interesting things about Lake Tahoe. The boat was amazing, felt very safe and comfortable for young children, and we really enjoyed paddle boarding and swimming on the far side of the lake. We had a fantastic time and highly recommend this experience. It was by far the highlight of our trip.

Such a highlight of our vacation! Four adults and five boys under 10 all had an amazing time on the boat. Captain Bret was fantastic - friendly, knowledgeable, and full of interesting facts and stories about Lake Tahoe that kept everyone engaged. The boys especially loved the opportunity to swim in the crystal-clear lake and learn how to paddleboard. We made wonderful memories and would highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Tahoe!

Called Tahoe Experience, Bret, for a last minute excursion with my family. On the day of, Bret was accommodating and made our morning boating tour into a wonderful family time. He was knowledgeable and made us feel at ease. First time paddle boarding and tubing was an excellent experience for my kids, ages 8 to 13. Must not miss this summer time experience when you're in the area! We will be back.

If you are thinking about chartering a boat on Lake Tahoe, The Tahoe Experience is the best option out there. From beginning to end, Bret made sure my group of 16 passengers were safe and having a wonderful time. Even shared great facts about the lake and the boat had so many extras such as paddle boards and water slide. This is a must do experience for anyone visiting Tahoe and worth every penny!

This was the perfect boating experience for us with our two grandsons. It was a beautiful day on Lake Tahoe and we had so much fun with all the water toys. We would recommend this to everyone (families, couples and individuals of all ages). This boat was so enjoyable for all of us to ride on all four hours. We can hardly wait to do it again sometime in the future!

We went out on the water in the height of the Caldor Fire and Smoke. Bret was an excellent tour guide and very personable. We would highly recommend this outing to everyone looking to have a good time on Lake Tahoe. We loved the SUPs , tubing, and swimming. The photos including drone footage was an added surprise.

This was hands down the best day on the water my family and I have ever had! Bret was awesome and he had so many fun activities to fill up the four hour tour. He had paddle boards, a lily pad, inner tubing, it was incredible! Not to mention his vast knowledge about the lake and its history. I highly recommend him and we will definitely be back!!!

Bret took us out on the AM morning cruise. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. He was an amazing Captain/Host, showed us the sights, local Tahoe info and amazing coves to anchor at. My kids, wife and I loved all the toys he had with him. He took photos and drones videos to capture the amazing experience. Will recommend Bret and his charter to anyone heading to the lake!!
