Bryan’s Red Boat

, May 2022
This boat tour was excellent and was only made better with our Captain Bryan. Absolutely worth every penny. His knowledge of the Lake and the history of it was awesome. He was welcoming and you can tell he absolutely enjoys his job. Our next tour will definitely be 4 hours rather then just 2. You will not be disappointed.
Wonderful Mother’s Day Gift

Captain Bryan was very accommodating to deliver a terrific sight-seeing adventure for my mom this Mother’s Day weekend. High winds rolled during the weekend, but he moved our time back so we could still make the trip happen. His knowledge and experience of the lake, boat, and weather all combined made the trip well worth it. Thank you, captain Bryan!
Wonderful captain and experience for our whole family!

Captain Bryan was incredible. He was punctual, knowledgeable about the lake and surrounding area, and welcoming to our multi-generational group ranging in ages from 8 to 73 years old. My family completely enjoyed our private tour on his immaculate vessel and I would definitely recommend the experience to friends and family. 🚤

Exciting and fun boat tour with Bryan. He is so friendly, calm and experience captain. He showed us the beauty of Emeral bay and gave us some history of the Vikingsholm castle and Lake Tahoe. Thanks captain Bryan for your suggestion. we came to the Round Hill Pines beach right after our boat tour and visited the tiki bar at the beach, kayaking and jet skiing there. We had a great time. Highly recommended this RED boat tour. See you next time captain Bryan.
Excellent experience

The boat operator did not pay attention to the place we were to meet & thought we had canceled. We arrived 30 minutes early & followed written instructions. He never gave us life preservers or snacks as advertised. He offered water about half way through the trip. Maybe he was having a bad day. There were 4 of us and everyone agreed the experience could have been better.
Response from Host , Aug 2020
Thank you so much for your feedback. We truly appreciate understanding your guest experience and allowing us the opportunity improve. Pre-trip communication is extremely important because it can get confusing at the busy Marina and knowing where to park and meet. When we send out our confirmation and guest guide, we kindly request our guests to go to the Fresh Ketch restaurant and text the Captain so that he can meet you at your scheduled departure time. We hope you will come visit us again and please contact us directly so we can offer you a discount on a future booking. We always aim for 100% five stars. Thank you again for your feedback, we truly appreciate it.
Beautiful ride around the lake

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
