What an incredible day! What a beautiful lake! What a gorgeous boat! Our time in Lake Tahoe was the high point of our summer. And the Pinnacle of that trip was spending an afternoon on the Alpenglow Boat Company’s wooden boat, the Radiance. This beauty was built in 1957 and has been completely restored to its original splendor. Everything was immaculate, the tour guide was knowledgeable, the views of the mountains and Emerald Bay took your breath away, especially during sunset! How fun to be on such a unique craft in a place where wooden boats once roamed freely, and now get all kinds of attention from everyone you pass. We really felt special to enjoy such a unique experience in this wonderland.
The tour was great and the guide was very knowledgeable. Would recommend the boat tour for everyone. We loved it!
Cannot recommend Alpenglow Boat Company, and specifically Ed the captain, highly enough! He catered the tour to our wishes. We went to Emerald Bay, walked around the Vikingsholm Castle, and saw much of south Lake Tahoe. Ed is very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time. It was a highlight of our trip!
To Alpenglow Boat Co. and in particular a heartfelt thanks to Ed! What an amazing way to celebrate our 53rd Wedding Anniversary. The boat trip to Emerald Bay was fantastic. The surrounding scenery amazing and Ed was the perfect host who even went out of his way to show me the waterfall. The boat was comfortable and really nice. Seeing the bay from the boat in contrast to seeing it from land makes such a difference. Added to this A lovely lunch and a Chardonnay made the experience so memorable… something we will always remember. Thank you for the experience. Hans & Dee Stein
First of all, we’ve heard nothing but great things about these guys so we were so excited to go out on the lake with them during our visit to Tahoe! They were so attentive and intentional to our needs and to celebrate with us! I was newly pregnant and I was afraid I would be nauseous, but actually the fresh lake air and beauty really refreshed me. They were so attentive in checking in with me (how I was feeling, if I needed anything). My husband and I had the best time. They took us out right around the end of the day to see the sun lower down near the mountains and the view was spectacular from every side! But honestly — the real showstopper is the boat itself! It is SO BEAUTIFUL. It’s a classic, vintage wooden boat that clearly has been kept in excellent condition. What a beauty. It felt so luxurious, high end, and special to be in. It felt like the boat was made just for us to enjoy that night. We are so pleased to have had this experience and would very highly recommend booking with Alpenglow Boat Co. We felt so celebrated and they made our night so special. It was 100% worth it! We recommend them to all our family and friends who are visiting Tahoe!
The boat cruise was fabulous and so much fun! Ed is a great host. Through his connections at Vikingsholm, we received a private tour of the property. The boat was beautiful and our friends who joined us on the cruise were so impressed. Highly recommend!
My wife and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary with Alpenglow Boat Co. We were pleasantly surprised they went the extra mile to make it a special evening. I would highly recommend the tour with them in the morning or evening for the special sunrise/sunset tours as Lake Tahoe often exceeds expectations. Thanks Ed for making it an awesome evening on that awesome Century boat!
This boat ride made our trip! Ed was so knowledgeable and friendly. We went with 2 friends and brought our 6 month old who LOVED the boat. Would recommend to anyone! Can’t wait to come back!
BOAT IS BEAUTIFUL – this is the private water activity everyone should opt for while here in Lake Tahoe. This pristine show boat really adds to the experience.
