Custom Lake Tahoe Charters
for an Epic Day on the Water

At Big Blue Sports, we offer private boat charters designed around you—whether you’re looking for a relaxed cruise, a high-energy water sports session, or something worth celebrating. Every trip is personal, flexible, and thoughtfully guided by a certified captain who knows Lake Tahoe inside and out. With space for up to 7 guests total (including the captain), we make it easy to experience the lake like a local.

We focus on creating smooth, memorable experiences—backed by expert knowledge, premium gear, and a deep love for this lake.

Big Blue Sports is proudly woman-owned and based in North Lake Tahoe. Our goal is simple: to offer private charters that are smooth, memorable, and fully tailored to you—without the stress. Whether you’re visiting Tahoe for the first time or returning for a favorite tradition, we’ll help make it your best day on the lake.
