This is the Ferrari of Lake Tahoe and has power and a smooth ride. This is the best way to see Emerald Bay up close and personal.

Awesome trip! Highly recommend!

Published on Sep, 2024

We enjoyed our tour guide so much! Bryan was very knowledgeable and personable. Lake Tahoe is beautiful! Great experience for our group of four.

Fun, Lively, and Personalized!

Published on Jul, 2024

Captain Brian is the absolute best! We booked this far in advance to make sure we had a private tour on the 4th of July weekend, and two days before the tour I got a text with detailed directions on where to meet. So grateful for the deets in advance because it was a crazy weekend and we arrived in the nick of time. The tour lasted exactly 2 hours and we got so much history and geological details on Lake Tahoe from Captain Brian. He knew so much and explained while driving us around as fast or slow as we wanted. We had control of the music, enjoyed beverages we brought, and got to jump into the water and swim with provided floaties in a spot that was not crowded and fairly shallow! 10/10 for Captain Brian!!! You made a Floridian group trip to Tahoe so much fun!

Family fun on The Grateful Red!

Published on Jul, 2023

Our family had such an amazing time on the Grateful Red for a sunset tour. Captain Bryan was so friendly and professional. His knowledge of the lake and surrounding areas were so helpful with our plans! He made us feel so comfortable on his beautiful boat! We truly enjoyed every minute of the tour. We highly recommend Captain Bryan and The Grateful Red!

Fabulous experience! A MUST do activity in the summertime!

Published on Jul, 2023

If you visit Lake Tahoe in the summer, you must get out on the lake itself! Captain Bryan was a fantastic host and got us safely around the southern part of the lake. The views are amazing and the water is crystal clear. We visited in July and the water is still pretty chilly, but not intolerable for a short swim! This charter did not require us to purchase the gas and was still $25 less expensive than other tours. Well worth the money to have someone else drive us around and also educate us on what we were seeing.

Flawless

Published on Oct, 2022

My wife and I booked a sunset boat cruise with Captain Bryan. His communication was flawless - reached out in advance to confirm, answer any questions, etc. - and then reached out again the day of the cruise. He made some great suggestions about the timing of the cruise, and which locations to visit. At each stop along the way, he shared great information, and was very sincere and genuine. He even helped us take some photos! Absolutely rate the trip a 10/10 - must do if you're in the area!
