Boat Tahoe Influencer Partnership Guide

At Boat Tahoe, we love partnering with creators who genuinely connect with their audience and who want to showcase Lake Tahoe in a fun, authentic way. Because we’re a small, high-demand charter company with limited boats, we’ve created a simple partnership program that keeps things fair, flexible, and beneficial for both sides.

If you’re a creator who loves unforgettable adventures, beautiful water, and storytelling that inspires people to explore Tahoe… you’re in the right place.

Why Partner With Boat Tahoe?

Lake Tahoe is one of the most iconic freshwater destinations in the world, and our charters give you front-row access to:

  • Crystal-blue coves
  • Sunrise and morning glass water
  • Emerald Bay’s dramatic cliffs
  • Luxury, captained experiences perfect for photo and video content

Our goal is to help you create the kind of content your followers actually care about — the kind that gets saved, shared, and drives real engagement.

We keep the partnership simple so you can focus on creativity, not complicated rules.

How Our Partnerships Work

You can choose whichever option works best for your brand and content style (one per collaboration):

Option 1 — Creator Discount (Mon–Thurs Only)

Enjoy 20% off any Monday–Thursday charter (excluding holidays)
Perfect if you’re looking for flexibility and want a straightforward rate.

Option 2 — Earn Commission (No Discount)

Receive a unique booking code and earn 10% commission for every booking you generate.
Payments are made after completed charters.

This option can easily cover the cost of your charter — and for creators with a strong, high-quality audience, it can even generate profit.

What We Ask From Our Collaborators

We keep expectations simple, and in return, you get a stunning Tahoe backdrop and the freedom to create in your own style.

Content Deliverables

We ask each influencer to provide at least 10 pieces of content (photos or video files) directly to us.
This content:

  • Can be edited or unedited
  • Should be media-quality
  • Will come with full usage rights for Boat Tahoe marketing (website, ads, socials, print, etc.)

This is one of the most meaningful parts of our partnerships — and helps us continue showcasing Tahoe’s beauty year-round.

Who We Partner With

We want collaborations to feel natural and mutually beneficial, so we look for creators who can meaningfully influence travel, lifestyle, outdoor adventure, luxury experiences, or Lake Tahoe tourism.

To keep expectations clear and ensure a good fit, here are our baseline requirements:

  • 40,000+ followers
  • Solid engagement:
    • 5% for accounts under 100k
    • 3% for accounts 100k–500k
    • 2% for accounts over 500k
  • Audience relevance: At least 40% U.S.-based, ideally 10%+ in CA/NV

These guidelines help ensure that your content reaches people who may actually visit, explore, and book Tahoe experiences.

Priority Consideration

While all qualified creators are welcome to apply, priority is given to influencers who also:

  • Have an active travel or lifestyle blog
  • Receive meaningful monthly website traffic
  • Are willing to include a Book Tahoe feature, highlight, or guide on their site
  • Can link directly back to us for SEO (this helps tremendously!)

This helps both with visibility and long-term discoverability in search engines and AI results.
