Boating & Sailing

South Lake Tahoe is boating heaven. It is one of the largest bodies of water on the west coast, with crystalline waters that are often as smooth as glass. Whether skiing, wakeboarding, or parasailing, Lake Tahoe is everyone’s choices for its beauty, clarity, and size.

There is a humongous variety of boats & equipment available for rent in a variety of South Lake Tahoe locations. From chartered yachts, family cruisers, ski boats, wave runners, and sailboats. There are areas around Tahoe you cannot even access by land, as well as many restaurants and attractions that have convenient boat access. Exciting places you can visit via your boat include public beaches and parks, restaurants, old mansions, and historic sites.

If boating is your attraction of choice, be mindful of the time you visit Tahoe as there are many boating events to experience such as the Independence Day fireworks and classic boat shows. If you already own a boat and are looking for a convenient and affordable dock to keep it at, look no further than South Shore Tahoe. Several storage sites provide easy access and quick deployment of your craft year around. There are also many easy-to-access boating ramps around the shores that will make your launching a hassle free experience.
