Step aboard a classic wooden boat with Cruise Tahoe and its sister vessel, The Radiance — and receive up to 15% off your Lake Tahoe cruise experience!

Cruise Tahoe has been running classic wooden boat tours on Lake Tahoe since 1950, and remains one of the most intimate public boat tours on the lake. Guests can choose from scenic sightseeing cruises, sunset tours, a beer tasting cruise, or the signature Emerald Bay tour, which includes a guided walking tour of historic Vikingsholm Castle. With room for up to 16 guests, it’s a relaxed, small-group way to see Tahoe’s most iconic scenery from the water.

For an even more personal experience, Cruise Tahoe’s sister company, Alpenglow, offers private charters aboard the Radiance, a beautifully restored 1958 Century Coronado. With space for up to 6 guests, Alpenglow is built for sunrise cruises, sunset tours, and daytime outings on the lake, and is a favorite for anniversaries, small celebrations, and couples looking for a quieter, more romantic outing to Emerald Bay and beyond.

Between the two boats, guests can pick the experience that fits their group — a lively public cruise with new faces and Tahoe history aboard the larger Tahoe vessel, or a private, intimate charter aboard the smaller Radiance. Both are captained by the same Tahoe Keys Marina–based crew, so switching between them for different plans during your stay is seamless.
