Lake Tahoe Boating & Marinas
A sparkling expanse of water always attracts
water sports, and Lake Tahoe provides the ideal site for a
smorgasbord of the wet and wild made even more enjoyable by
the exceptionally clear depths.

Featured Cruises and Charters:

Boating:
Boating enthusiasts - those who rent as well
as those who bring their own - enjoy the calm morning water
and wind, which ensure that motorboats, sailboats, kayaks, canoes
and even rowboats are easily launched from the Lake's many piers
and marinas. Visitors can set out from Cave Rock, the Anchorage
at Camp Richardson,
Lakeside Marina, Tahoe Keys Marina, Ski
Run Marina, Timber
Cove Marina and Zephyr
Cove Marina.
With boating comes the high-speed thrill of
waterskiing, as well as its trendy new cousin, scurfing. Like
waterskiing, scurfing involves being towed by a motorboat across
the water's surface. But instead of distributing their weight
between water skis, scurfers plant both feet on a piece of equipment
resembling a small surfboard.
When conditions are right, the colorful array
of the windsurfers' sails add yet another dimension to Lake
Tahoe's spectacular beauty. The wind and waves challenge but
do not daunt the lovers of this sport.

Marinas:
Most marinas have gasoline, repairs,
supplies, launching, pump-a-head and boat rentals.
Call the particular marina you are interested in for
more information.

Docking:
Docking boats/watercraft in any designated
swimming area, channel by a marina, or within 200 yards
of any stream or creek is illegal. You may anchor off
shore overnight provided you display a white anchor light.
Camping:
There is one boat camp, Emerald Bay, located
on the west shore of Lake Tahoe. This campground is run
by California State Parks and has 10 sites with water
and flush toilets. It is open in the summer on a first-come,
first-serve basis. There is a $9.00 fee to camp. For more
information call (916) 525 7277.
Regulations:
In order to provide safety and pleasure
for all, California Boating Regulations should be
carefully studied and observed. You may obtain a copy
of the regulations by either writing or calling:
Coast Guard
2500 Lake Forest Road, Tahoe City, CA 96145
(530) 583-4433 (June - October)
OR
California Department of Boating &
Waterways
1629 "S" Street, Sacramento, CA 95814
(916) 445-2615
Boating Safety:
The elements which make up the attractive
Lake Tahoe Basin environment also create significant hazards
for boaters. A few of these are:
Wind: Sudden, high gusty winds of sufficient
intensity to capsize a small craft are not unusual in the
Basin. When a long dark line appears down the lake, gusty
winds may be moving in your direction. The best thing to do
is find a sheltering harbor.
Underwater Hazards: Beware of underwater
obstructions, such as rocks and old pilings which may be exposed
or barely covered near shorelines. Very hazardous areas of
Lake Tahoe have been marked by the Coast Guard with red buoys,
which should be kept between the vessel and the shore. These
dangerous areas are shown on the National Ocean Survey Chart
of Lake Tahoe, obtained at the Coast Guard Station in Lake
Forest, and on boating maps sold at local sporting goods stores.
Water Temperature: The water temperature
of local lakes is very cold. Surface temperature is approximately
40 degrees during December through April. Summer temperatures
may reach the upper 60's near shorelines. Sudden immersion
in ice cold water can cause temporary paralysis with resulting
helplessness and loss of buoyancy, causing the victim to sink
without returning to the surface. The boater must be prepared
at all times for adverse wind conditions. The wearing of personal
flotation devices by all passengers aboard and the use of
wet suits for water skiing is highly recommended.
