Great experience on Lake Tahoe !

An outstanding way to see Lake Tahoe. Going with Filllip and on his Pontoon Boat was a fabulous way to enjoy all of Lake Tahoe. Fillip is very safe, knowledgeable and an all-around great guy. The boat was clean, well equipped and luxurious.

What an amazing way to view Lake Tahoe! Fillip, the owner and captain, was so kind and informative. Got to swim in some of the most amazing crystal clear water. Definitely would book again!

Wow, what a fantastic day on the Lake. Flips Boats, and the tritoon we had, along with the captain, were great! Having a captain that knows the lake and all the best swimming holes and beaches was key. It helped our day in the water be that much better. I’d highly recommend Flips Boats for all your Lake Tahoe boating needs.

We had the most incredible time on Lake Tahoe thanks to Boatsetter and our amazing captain, Dylan. The boat was in great condition, and Dylan made the experience unforgettable with his professionalism and friendly personality. He knew the best spots on the lake, and we felt completely at ease the entire trip. From breathtaking views to relaxing on the water, this was easily one of the best experiences we’ve had. We highly recommend Boatsetter and especially Captain Dylan for anyone looking fo

Awesome, awesome time with Flip. Easy to book with, communicative, and helped us find where to meet him at the Marina. Spent a gorgeous day on the water and the boat is super comfortable (we had 5 people and everyone got a comfy seat). Flip was great, gave us lots of stories about the lake and took us to some beautiful swimming spots! We brought food, drinks, and swim tubes and had a blast. Highly recommend!! Thanks Captain Flip!!

Fillip was a consummate boat captain and tour guide for our trip on Lake Tahoe. He placed us perfectly in Emerald Bay while I officiated my daughter’s wedding. He provided interesting historical and ecological information on the Lake, Emerald Bay, and Vikingsholm. We were so happy he was part of our wedding party. We highly recommend him and look forward to using him in the future when our family returns to Lake Tahoe.

Flip, our Captain, was very gracious (we had a baby with us!) and informative about the area. The pontoon was in great shape and very comfortable, even with some waves.

Awesome time on the lake with two of our friends visiting the Tahoe area. Pontoon boat was very nice and well-maintained. Filip was very knowledgeable and scheduled the day in a way that accommodated the things we wanted to do/see with cool ideas of his own. Definitely the way to go for us— not experienced boaters but love being on the water.

Very good experience!!
- AllanAllan
We had an absolute blast. Fillip, the owner, made the booking process and setup very easy. He was really nice to deal with. Our captain for the day, Spencer, was incredible. We got to go to so many cool beaches that we could not have gotten to by car. Some of the prettiest water we have ever seen. This has been the highlight of our trip and I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone that wants to get the most out of their Tahoe vacation. The boat was really nice too. Plenty of space for the seven of us!

Captain Flip was perfect! We loved chatting with him, learning even a few new local stories despite life time history here. It was our first time getting a captained rental and the ease of the day coupled with the local expertise of our captain made it easily worth the upgrade! Thank for two incredible days on Lake Tahoe! Highly recommend Flip for a beautiful day on the water!

Filip was the absolute best and the boat trip was an awesome way to spend half our day! Filip shared interesting info about Lake Tahoe histories and geomorphology and had a super chill demeanor.
