Keeping families safe on the water is our top priority...

Keeping our families and the public safe on the water is one of our proudest endeavors. In a setting as dynamic as Lake Tahoe we support the amplified efforts by California and Nevada to educate all boaters – motorized and non-motorized – about safety for themselves, their passengers, and other lake users.
