You can’t say you’ve taken in everything the area has to offer until you’ve gazed down into that clear blue water to the depths below from atop the surface of one of the most spectacular lakes in the world. And one of the best ways to soak it all in is with a cruise on a private luxury yacht. That’s where Tahoe Yacht Charters comes into the picture. This is the way that allows people to craft a lake cruise just the way they want it. Tahoe Yacht Charters’ Formula 45 luxury yacht is built for elegant enjoyment, with a 12-person capacity, surround-sound Bose speakers and top-line facilities from galley to head. Captain Rurian makes it easy to work with him to reserve a date and to begin to build just the right boating excursion to fit your dreams and desires. He starts by getting an idea of how many passengers will be on the cruise, what date you would like to book the trip, what your particular interests are at Lake Tahoe and whether you have a particular event you are celebrating or activity that you specifically want to do. With this framework in mind, Tahoe Yacht Charters begins a conversation to help develop your once-in-a-lifetime outing.
