My husband and I were looking for a way to spend a relaxing but adventurous day on the lake and boy did we find an amazing experience with Captain Bryan. You won’t be disappointed! Super Chill - go with the flow and super knowledgeable about the history and current events on the lake. After being in lock down for 14 months - this mini-getaway- and the boat excursion was a great cure! Highly recommend this experience. Next time we will do it for longer.

Absolutely lovely! Our captain was very knowledgeable, accommodating, and kind. Even with the smoke, he was great at finding beautiful spots and giving a little history of the area without being overbearing. Our pictures of the sunset turned out pretty wild because of the smoke, and he was also willing to turn the boat around to help us get a better shot of something. His boat is well maintained and you can see how much care he puts into making it a good experience. Bottom line: book and enjoy the ride.

It was supposed to be an almost windless day. Oh No. We had wind before we left the airport. The pilot knew the weather patterns on Lake Tahoe and took me to sheltered coves and shoreline. I had a great experience flying the east/south shore. It was beautiful.
