The new e-waiver includes the passenger contract and information on possible risks you may encounter should you choose to fish from a charter boat. This new e-waiver will be accessible via an email/text link sent to the person who booked the reservation, who must then have each person in their party fill it out (you can just forward/copy and paste the email/text to each person). We are ironing out the details of this new system, so we thank you for your patience!
-
The number of people allowed onboard will likely vary with each boat and each trip type, but our current policy is to allow for plenty of room to fish.

We like to keep our charters nice and roomy and typically have 6-8 fisherman per boat on our public charters. We can accommodate larger groups on our private charters. All our boats are Coast Guard Certified. Our Island Hoppers are Coast Guard Certified for 12-15 passengers. Our Seahawks are Coast Guard Certified for up to 18 passengers and the Prophet is Coast Guard Certified for 35 passengers.

Water is provided on every charter and hot coffee will be available in the morning. You are more than welcome to bring any additional food or drinks with you on the boat, just as long as there are NO BANANAS!

We choose to be Coast Guard Certified because safety is our #1 priority. We go through extensive annual Coast Guard inspections including:
- Mandatory random drug testing for the crew and CPR Certification.
- High water alarms, which alerts when there is water too high within the vessel.
- Automatic fire extinguishers will automatically shut off the fuel if triggered, and extinguish fire in the engine room.
- All vessels have at least 36” railings for the safety of small children, which does not require children to wear life vests.
- All vessels have the required number of certified life preservers on board.
- All vessels have first aid kits, life rafts, life rings and strobe water lights on board.
-
We catch fish daily! Our captains are out on the lake 365 days per year and it is their job to help you catch fish. Lake Tahoe is a tricky lake to fish, but our skilled crew will guide you! It is important to listen to all instructions given to you from the crew so you as the angler can land fish in the boat!
-
Dress in layers so you are prepared for Lake Tahoe weather. Winters in Lake Tahoe are a dry cold – so dress in your winter attire!
Sunscreen, hats, gloves, a camera and your fishing license if you have one!
-
You can park in the Ski Run Marina lot for free during the winter months. All other times parking is $6/hour or a max charge of $50/day
-
A Public charter is ideal for parties from a single fisherman to 5 people. If you party is 6 or more it will be considered as a Private Charter. Private Charters ensure that it is just you and your party on the boat with your own crew.
-
Everyone who is 16 and older is required to have a fishing license. Both California and Nevada fishing licenses work on Lake Tahoe. We have a CA Fish and Game license kiosk in our office and can issue you a 1-day license for $17.54 each. We also can issue annual, 2-day, 10-day, additional stamps and hunting licenses and draws.
