Fun, Lively, and Personalized! - 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! - 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! - 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 - 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!

Amazing & memorable sunset boat ride - The boat ride is the best memory we had in Lake Tahoe till date. Bryan was prompt and was in touch with us via text messages. He kept everything simple and easy. The boat captain, Tim was just amazing. He kept all of us entertained through-out the boat ride. My kid loved him and wants to go back on the boat again. Everyone in the family strongly recommend this memorable boat ride.

Wonderful even with the smoke! - Absolutely lovely! Our captain was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and kind. Even with the smoke, he was great at finding beautiful spots and giving a little history of the area without being overbearing. Our pictures of the sunset turned out pretty wild because of the smoke, and he was also willing to turn the boat around to help us get a better shot of something. His boat is well maintained and you can see how much care he puts into making it a good experience. Bottom line: book and enjoy the ride.
