Emerald Bay Private Sightseeing Boat Tours
Overview
Our Private Emerald Bay Cruises are 2-hours, departing either in the morning or afternoon. Explore Lake Tahoe’s picturesque west shoreline and experience the pristine waters of Emerald Bay and Rubicon Bay. See Lake Tahoe’s most breathtaking views including Fannett Island, Eagle Falls, Rubicon Point and Rubicon Bay. We can pull up and anchor at one of Lake Tahoe’s pristine coves or beaches for a picnic or a swim in the Caribbean colored water.
We depart from the Tahoe Keys Marina and take guests along the beautiful west shore into Emerald Bay to view Lake Tahoe’s hidden castle the Vikingsholm, Eagle Falls and the Tea House on Fannette Island. Then, we cruise up the west shore through the Caribbean waters or Rubicon Bay and then back across the lake to the Marina.
