Why Rent a Boat Long-Term?
Lake Tahoe is one of the most stunning boating destinations in the world. With its crystal-clear waters, breathtaking mountain views, and hidden coves, there’s no better way to explore than by boat.
But if you’re only renting for a few hours, you’re missing out on the full experience.
A multi-day boat rental gives you:
✅ More freedom—keep the boat overnight and explore at your own pace.
✅ Cost savings—long-term rentals are more affordable per hour than short-term bookings.
✅ Access to exclusive locations—visit areas that short-term renters don’t have time to see.
Before you book, there are a few important things to know about where you can take your boat, where you can dock, and the best places to visit!

What You Need for a Long-Term Rental

📞 No Dock or Buoy? No problem! Contact us to discuss overnight docking arrangements.
🚨 Reminder: Boats cannot pull up to piers independently, but you can use valet services at select locations like Gar Woods.
