Watch the sunset over Lake Tahoe on a private 120-minute boat charter with a USCG-certified captain and watersports equipment.

About this tour

As the sun lowers over the Sierra Nevada, Lake Tahoe’s blue waters take on a warm evening glow. Set out on a private South Lake Tahoe sunset boat charter with a USCG-certified captain and enjoy the lake at an unhurried pace.

Your 120-minute outing includes bottled water, gas, and watersports equipment. The provider describes options for cruising the lake and visiting sights such as Emerald Bay, Vikingsholm, Fannette Island, Rubicon Bay, and nearby state parks, or choosing a more active day on the water. Confirm your preferred plans with the captain. Meet at the boat at Rubicon Dock, past the white shack near the boat ramp and the blue Boat Tahoe flag, and arrive 20 minutes before departure.

For groups of seven or more, an additional captain fee of $100 per hour is due upon arrival; groups of six or fewer have all costs included at booking. Book your South Lake Tahoe private sunset boat charter for a memorable evening on the water.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 32 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Lake Tahoe
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 8.3. Top 11% in Lake Tahoe means it ranks in the top 11% of tours in Lake Tahoe by this score.
