The Godfather Lake Tahoe Private Boat Tour

A Once-in-a-Lifetime Private Charter Experience

Step aboard a private Boat Tahoe charter and cruise the legendary shoreline where Hollywood history and real-life mob stories collide.

  • Mob History: Learn how organized crime shaped Nevada’s gaming industry, Tahoe’s early casinos, and the Rat Pack era.
  • Lake Tahoe Legends: Discover the lake’s 4-million-year geological history, Emerald Bay, Vikingsholm Castle, and Fannette Island.
  • Exclusive Perspective: Enjoy it all from your own private boat, captained by a US Coast Guard licensed professional.
