What to know about renting a boat in South Lake Tahoe
Boating is (without contest) the most popular lake activity during the summer months, and this expansive watery playground plays host to a myriad of boating activities such as sailboat regattas and even one of the country’s leading wooden boat shows — the Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance, which takes place every August. Boating culture reigns supreme for as long as the weather permits, and powerboats and jet skis dart across the water along with picturesque sailing vessels. For even more rental options be sure to look at all of Lake Tahoe for the most ideal location to start your boating adventure.
Boaters often partake in watersports as well, which range from the relaxing (such as kayaking to the exhilarating (such as parasailing, water skiing, and wakeboarding). Given the extreme depths of Lake Tahoe, scuba diving has also become a popular pastime, and can allow the adventurous to experience this beautiful lake in a unique way. Fishing and boating often go hand in hand, and Lake Tahoe has plenty of specimens to tempt any fisherman, from large and smallmouth bass and at least three different varieties of trout, to bluegill, sockeye salmon, and more.

About South Lake Tahoe
Nestled between the borders of California and Nevada in the scenic Sierra Nevada lays one of the largest and most well-known lakes in the United States — the stunning Lake Tahoe. Its high altitude and ski resorts make it a popular winter destination, but boaters will delight in the lake’s many charms during the late spring to early fall seasons. Lake Tahoe’s varied landscapes, beautiful beaches, and deep bays make it a boater’s paradise that thousands flock to each year as soon as the snow begins to thaw.

22’ Princecraft Pontoon boat in South Lake Tahoe
The pontoon boat was pretty straight forward for controls. Shan was on time and very professional. The back ladder was broken from another group, and made it pretty difficult to get back on if we went for a swim. I would rent again, he said he was getting it fixed.

I had a great experience renting from James. Communication leading up to the rental date was easy. The boat was as expected (great boat) and the return and finalization of the transaction was a simple process. All in all, a great experience.

Nick and his friend Andrew showed us SUCH an amazing day. Their boats are beautiful and really clean.. they were great communicating and accommodating our schedule. It was extremely windy that day and they knew where to take us to still show us a great time. I highly recommend renting from them!!!

2018 Yamaha 242 Limited SE boat rental in South Lake Tahoe
My family and I had a great time on James’ boat. There was only 6 of us, so it was very spacious for our group. We rented it for a half day and loved the provided amenities, including the wakesurf board and inner tube. He was quick to respond to any questions I had and was easy to coordinate the logistics with, like where to pick up and drop off the boat. I would highly recommend James and his boat for a fun day out on the lake!
