South Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay Cruise 2 hr

Set out from Ski Run Marina for a two-hour cruise into Emerald Bay, where glacier-shaped shores, clear water, and Sierra Nevada peaks frame one of Lake Tahoe’s most striking landscapes. This South Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay Cruise pairs relaxed time on the water with views of the region’s natural and historic landmarks.

As the boat follows the west shore, take in forested slopes, granite outcroppings, and quiet coves while onboard narration shares local history and natural context. At Emerald Bay, the cruise circles Fannette Island, Lake Tahoe’s only island, with views of its stone tea house. You’ll also see Eagle Falls and Vikingsholm Mansion from the water. Keep watch along the shoreline and treetops for osprey and bald eagles, which are frequently spotted in the area.

Choose indoor comfort or open-air seating as you enjoy the scenery. A full bar is available onboard, and food can be purchased. After the return journey to Ski Run Marina, you’ll have seen Emerald Bay’s signature sights without leaving the lake. Book your South Lake Tahoe Emerald Bay Cruise for a scenic outing that brings Tahoe’s landscapes and landmarks into view.
