Rented a boat from Tahoe Waves and received the best service and hospitality Ive had in a very long time. The boats are very well kept and new. Cooper is a genuine guy and will go out of his way to make sure your trip is perfect. If Im back in Tahoe we will be using him again!

We rented from Tahoe Waves twice this summer. These guys were great, very easy to deal with, reasonably priced, and the boats were well maintained. Quick turnaround, thorough safety walkthrough, and then they had us out on the water in minutes. No shenanigans with hidden fees and surcharges - the price on the website is what you pay. Will definitely use again.

They are great people at Tahoe Waves! What these guys didnt know is that I had a boat reservation elsewhere for Saturday. My family drove 6 hours to Tahoe for the weekend only to find out that the company I made a reservation with is no longer in business. So we didnt have a boat on the busiest weekend in Tahoe. I spent Saturday desperately looking for a boat. We couldnt go to the beach because it was packed with people everywhere with very few wearing masks, and my dad, who was with us, is immuno-compromised. Finally, I found Tahoe Waves. They had an available boat for Sunday and it was

Searched for a few places before booking with Tahoe Waves Boat Rental for Fathers Day. The owner, Cooper, just sounded like good people, and the more I talked to him the more comfortable I was in securing a rental, and this was a phone conversation!
Im a former boat owner, but not a boat enthusiast. Cooper answered my questions, and then some. His rates were more than reasonable and his lake knowledge, to include average wind times (barring a Mother Nature twist) were helpful. He provided reminders the day before rental and the morning of. This was not just an auto message. We arrived

The staff here at Tahoe Waves are very accommodating and informative. They have a professional and comfortable approach which makes it so much better for first timers to the area. They provided all the equipment needed to ensure a great time as well. Will definitely be using them again when we come back next year! Highly recommend this place! Thanks again.
