Sail Lake Tahoe aboard a wind-powered yacht with up to 18 passengers, complimentary beer and wine, and sweeping lake views.
About this tour
Trade engine noise for the quiet sweep of sails on a South Lake Tahoe sailing cruise. Aboard Blue, a wind-powered yacht limited to 18 passengers, you can enjoy the lake’s scenery at a relaxed pace, with complimentary local beer and wine, bottled water, and a restroom on board.
This 120-minute South Lake Tahoe sailing cruise focuses on sailing and the beauty of the lake rather than a guided tour. The route depends on wind conditions, and public cruises do not travel to Emerald Bay, which is too far to reach in two hours. Arrive 30 minutes early at the Sail Tahoe Blue check-in window next to Riva Grill. The cruise is for guests ages 5 and older; infants and dogs are not permitted. It is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries or those who struggle with balance or mobility.
Settle in, feel the wind fill the sails, and experience Lake Tahoe from the water on an intimate South Lake Tahoe sailing cruise.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 4.84 from 22 reviews. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide 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 7.9. Top 22% in Lake Tahoe means it ranks in the top 22% of tours in Lake Tahoe by this score.
