Set Sail On Your Big Day
We’ve sailed into the sunset as the bride and groom said “I Do” at the bow. We’ve captained the ship as our guests celebrated anniversaries, elopements, engagements, and vow renewals with views of Lake Tahoe as the setting. If you’re planning a special event and want to make it even more spectacular, we are here to help. Book a private charter with us and we will take care of all the details, so you can relax and enjoy your big day. Choose between our two boats to host your event or outing and we can advise on everything from catering to which sights to see along the way. Pricing is the same as the private charters (above). Both pricing and availability are found when you click on Book Now below.Making a wedding ceremony or party completely unique, special, intimate and so very special is our thing. Choose between our two boats to host your big day.
If you aren't the planning type, we are now offering an all inclusive –Wedding Package– We have done many weddings onboard and have a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't. Our wedding package includes a 3 hour trip, 2 bottles of upgraded champagne (Veuve Clicot or similar), a Lake Tahoe map as a guest book, cupcakes from our local bakery (Sugar Pine Cakery), elevated appetizers from The Board Truckee and nautical code flag decorations or prayer flags to adorn the bow where your ceremony will take place. If you need it, one of our captains can even officiate!
The wedding package price is $4200 plus 18% gratuity would come to $4956. Since there are so many options within the package, we recommend getting in touch and we can walk you through the knot tying process.

LAKE TAHOE’S PREMIERE SAILING CHARTER SINCE 1998
Captain Mike started what is now Tahoe Sailing Charters back in 1998. The fleet, partners and team has grown steadily since then...In 2015, Captain Tyler became the new partner in ownership we added a power yacht called the Tahoe Dreamer for bareboat charters, along with our iconic 50’ sailboat, the Tahoe Cruz. Our captains and crew know this lake and its sailing conditions better than anyone on the water.
the forecast
We sail 7 days a week 3-4 times a day when the weather is permitting.We go when it's sunny and perfectly windy and also when it's cold and extra windy! We are glued to our radar and will never go out if we think it's unsafe.
