Zephyr Cove Boat Rentals

Great time on a powerboat for hours, zipping around Lake Tahoe.
Not the greatest pricing, but very very fun to swim in lake, dry off, speed around,& appreciate the sheer size of the lake.
Will most likely rent again next month. Some great memories

Don’t be fooled by the prices online. If you quote them they still won’t match them. When I asked him to match the price and he wouldn’t budge.
The surly teenager renting the boards has quite an attitude. «These paddles are shit», «I ride a much better board», etc.
The waters and equipment are fine dispute the hungover kids. It’s a wonderful spot to ride. Don’t expect much from the staff.
Lunch is best brought and ate on the beach. The foods ok but over priced near by

We own a vacation home in Zephyr Cove and have been coming to the Zephyr Cove Lodge and Beach for over 20 years every summer and winter. We usually rent a boat every summer for at least four hours to cruise around the lake and sometimes meet friends in the North Lake area for lunch. This year upon returning the boat on time with having used less than half of the tank we were charged $ 130 for fuel. When inquiring as to why we were first told by an employee passing by that we had been overcharged. Then the girl who rang us up explained that because of the fact they were having new in ground tanks installed they could not accurately measure how much fuel was dispensed, therefor they charged everybody $ 30 per hour plus tax and fees. Then the manager (Paul) came and arrogantly told the same thing – at least the girl was friendly. I explained that I did not want a refund but I did want to see the agreement that I had signed to see where that was explained. In the past I had always been shown a breakdown of how much fuel was used and what the cost was per gallon. I was informed the agreement I signed was unavailable. They then showed me a blank agreement that showed the words «fuel costs». No explanation of how much the fuel costs, just that we would be charged fuel costs.
I don’t want compensation, I just won’t return. They are PLENTY of options for boat rentals in South Lake Tahoe and most are usually very laid back, honest and friendly.
