8th Anniversary. - Bring a jacket! It was pretty windy and cold. If you're new to a boat cruise, the wind could make it a new experience. Highly recommend having a couple song requests for the band, or at the very least bringing the dancing shoes.

Sunset Dinner Cruise in South Lake Tahoe - Enjoyed a wonderful evening with my husband and family friends. Dinner was delicious and the staff very attentive. Afterwards we moved about the paddle boat to muse the scenery and spectacular sunset. Definitely worth the time and money.

Pleasant Sunset Dinner Cruise - We enjoyed our sunset dinner cruise. We paid extra for premium view seats and thought it was worth the splurge.

Good food. Good scenary. Got dark too quickly. - I wish they would adjust the start time to allow more daylight during the cruise....especially when cruising around Emerald Bay. For example, start at 6:00 pm in June and July and then start at 5:00 pm in August and September. The food was very good. The staff were professional and nice. The pickup and drop-off worked great. The vessel was nice, but it got crowded on the upper deck after dinner.

Dont dress formal unless you want to stand out as the best dressed passenger. Good service overall. The music and service was ok. The ride was very smooth and the food was amazing!

Zephyr Cove - Lake Tahoe Dinner Cruise - This was the smoothest dinner cruise we've ever experienced. The water was quite choppy, but we didn't feel it. The cabin was clean and comfortable, and the food, which we ordered the rib eye and salmon, was tasteful, yet luke warm. We understand that there were a lot of guests, but we expected the food to be warmer than it was. Overall, it was a good experience.

Mediocre experience - The boat ride was nice but dinner was mediocre, cheesecake was definitely cheap store bought and the band wasn’t great but it was their last week. Someone new will hopefully be better
