Are jet boats safer than propeller boats?

Yes. Jet boats have no exposed propellers, eliminating prop strike hazards — ideal for families and watersports.

Do I need boating experience to rent?

No. All rentals are operated by licensed captains who know Lake Tahoe’s waters and weather conditions.

What areas can we visit on a rental boat?

Popular destinations include Emerald Bay, Sand Harbor, Hurricane Bay, and several secluded coves only accessible by water.
