Tahoe Lakeside Charters Blog

Your Lake. Your Crew. Your Adventure.

See Lake Tahoe the way it’s meant to be seen—from the water! Tahoe Lakeside Charters offers private, customized adventures for groups of up to 10 guests aboard our spacious Formula 330 SS.

Whether you want to tube, swim in crystal-clear coves, lounge on our floating dock, cruise past Tahoe’s iconic sights, or simply kick back and soak up the sun, we’ll create the perfect day on the lake for your crew.

With an experienced USCG-licensed captain at the helm, we know Tahoe—and we know where to find the best swimming spots, incredible views, hidden gems and must-see destinations. You bring your favorite people, and we’ll take care of the adventure.

No crowded tour boats. No cookie-cutter itinerary. Just your crew, your captain and an unforgettable day on Lake Tahoe.
