Lake Tahoe is a special place to go boating. If you are lucky enough to have your own boat you can launch at many places around the lake. There is a mandatory boat inspection for all boats going onto Lake Tahoe to protect the lake from invading muscles. If you don't have a boat there are many great places to rent boats around Lake Tahoe. My Favorite is the Tahoe Boat Company located at Ski Run Marina.
The Tahoe Boat company has Lake Tahoe's safest and largest sports watercraft fleet. Their Power Boats come fully fueled and equipped with a VHF radio and Coast Guard approved safety equipment. Just turn the key and go! Conveniently located at Ski Run Marina in South lake Tahoe, they are the perfect place to rent a boat and get to Emerald Bay quickly.
There are many reasons to go boating on Lake Tahoe. Some of these reasons are unique to Lake Tahoe and others just apply to boating in general. There is nothing like a day of Boating on Lake Tahoe with the family. Time spent on a boat is quality time. Whether you're fishing, swimming, tubing or just cruising along taking in the scenery, you're having fun boating together. Out on the water there are no distractions. You can focus on each other. You can have conversations. Share stories. Laugh. Reconnect and create memories that will last a lifetime.
Boating on Lake Tahoe is definitely a great escape. It is almost impossible not to relax when you are boating on Lake Tahoe. Out on the water there are no faxes. No computers. No interruptions. There is the open water. The fresh air. The sun warming your face. And a sense of freedom and adventure you can't find anywhere else.
The scenery in Lake Tahoe is world famous. Emerald Bay is one of the great recreation boating destinations in the world. Climbing up to the Tea house is an adventure your family won't forget. (Be careful docking the boat) The cliffs in DL BLiss National park are perfect for swimming under on a warm sunny day. The visibility in Lake Tahoe is amazing. It is well over 75feet on most days. South Lake Tahoe's spectacular fireworks celebration is a highlight of boating season in Lake Tahoe. Ranked by many as one of the top fireworks displays in the nation, hundreds of boats take to the water directly under the fireworks.
Boating in Lake Tahoe is surprisingly affordable. The marina fees, the inspection fees and the rental fees are all lower on average than similar areas. Lake Tahoe is an American treasure and organizations like the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency ( TRPA) are doing their best to protect it. I have listed a few of their suggestions to help protect Lake Tahoe for the next generation.
• Always follow the instructions in your owner's manual or seek the advice of your dealer.
• Never attempt to alter or adjust new technology outboard and PWC engines.
• Check, clean and flush your engine well away from the water.
• Refuel away from the water whenever possible. Use fuel spill prevention devices.
• Have gas and oil leaks repaired immediately upon detection.
• Use bilge pillows and engine pads to absorb oil and fuel, and dispose of them properly.
• Use proper disposal methods for contaminated bilge water.
Studies have shown that two-stroke engines may discharge up to 20-30% of their fuel, unburned, into the air and water. In order to reduce the impact of motorized vessels on water quality, the Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) has adopted new regulations, effective June 1, 1999, restricting the use of certain marine engines on lakes in the Tahoe Region. In addition TRPA has established a 600-foot no-wake zone around Lake Tahoe, to minimize the noise impacts of motorized watercraft on residents, visitors and wildlife. The speed limit for all watercraft is 5 MPH or less in a zone extending from the shoreline to 600 feet from shore.
