Frequently Asked Questions
- A USCG licensed Captain is required to operate all of our boats. We make it easy for you — most clients go with one of the friendly local Captains who is chosen from a list of qualified pros, or you’re free to hire your own USCG licensed Captain. Enjoy Lake Tahoe, have a drink and don’t worry about operating the ship!
- As a USCG-compliant bareboat charter, you’ll cover the fuel used for your Lake Tahoe adventure, charged to your card after your trip based on actual consumption. Fuel costs typically range from $40-$100 for 2-4 hour charters, depending on your usage. We handle it all—like settling a lakeside bar tab later—with white-glove ease, so you can chill and soak in Tahoe’s vibes.
- No Pets, sorry! While we love pets, we are afraid of them jumping off the boat and into Lake Tahoe, or damaging the upholstery.
- No Red Wine (old sailor’s superstition) – You can BYOB though! You drink, we drive!

Prime Lake Tahoe Boat Rentals Hot Spots
Battle Born Boat Rentals knows all the best hot spots to check out on your boat day! Let our local professionals show you around the Lake, take you to secret bays and coves, and recommend all of the best sights your Lake Tahoe boat rentals can offer. Highlights include touring very nearby Emerald Bay, one of the most beautiful and most photographed inland bays in the entire country. Feel free to let us know about any and all of the South Lake Tahoe boat hot spots you want to check out when you board one of our pontoon boats at our commercial slips. We can set anchor and your entire crew can hop in the water, swim over to the epic rocks or beaches, use the waterslide and play in the Sierra sunshine.
Emerald Bay with the Perfect Boat – Absolutely Breathtaking
Our most highly requested destination, the Bay is arguably the most visited sight in all of South Lake Tahoe. The entrance is shallow and shows off that Tahoe blue water like none other. As we slowly cruise deeper, towering mountains surround us and immerse you and your friends and family in an epic Sierra vista. Vikingsholm is a 38 bedroom mansion at the end of the Bay and a great tourist destination in and of itself.
Feel free to drop anchor and just chill in the serene waters and soak up some of those legendary Lake Tahoe boat rays. Our guides can take you up close enough to enjoy the hike around Fannette island, and you can enjoy the view from the castle at the top with a looking glass window back out towards Lake Tahoe. It’s pretty much the best place for Lake Tahoe boat rentals to go.
The Bay was sculpted by receding glaciers during the Pleistocene era, and owes much of it’s dramatic, rising mountains to these millions of years old natural processes. Emerald Bay has been a natural magnet for boating activity since the late 1800’s when early settlers assembled huge crews of workers to build housing and construct large sailboats to navigate it’s natural inherent beauty.
Although there are endless hiking trails in the immediate vicinity, the best way to see it is with one of our South Tahoe boat rentals!

Safety Orientation + US Coast Guard Information
One of the reasons we always ship our top of the line charters with a qualified Captain is to take the responsibility off your group and allow everyone aboard to relax. Nobody wants to stress on their South Tahoe boat rental day. Your Captain will do a full safety briefing, lay down any ground rules as far as safety goes, show you where all our life jackets and all other USCG required safety equipment is located, and set sail! One basic rule we have is no more than three people on the upper deck at a time, and for instance, no one on the upper deck while we are underway. We always provide all the life jackets, VHF Radio set to channel 16, life rings, fire extinguishers, flares and all other safety equipment which is required by law, and more importantly, are just common sense items to have on board. Beautiful Lake Tahoe can turn into more of a small ocean instead of lake at the blink of an eye, and it always pays to be prepared and self reliant.
Rent a boat from Battle Born Boat Rentals and enjoy the best view of Tahoe around – from the middle of the Lake! Our brand new double decker pontoon party boat rentals include seating for 13 guests, Bluetooth six speaker sound system, waterslide, bimini top, pop up changing room and more! All you need to do is arrive and have a great time out on the water.
