Command Lake Tahoe: A 24' Cobalt Runabout with Driver from Sunnyside Watersports.
On Lake Tahoe the day is measured in blue light and the boat’s wake. The 24' Cobalt is an open‑bow runabout with a deep‑V inboard motor designed to slice through the glassy coves and windward chop alike — roomy enough for up to ten people, fitted with a Bluetooth stereo and bimini shade, and typically operated with a professional driver to keep the focus on fun and scenery.

What the day feels like
What the outing actually feels like
Boarding the Cobalt feels like stepping into a compact, high‑performance day boat: the deep‑V hull offers a sure ride across the lake, while a bimini and Bluetooth stereo keep a group comfortable between stretches of tubing or wakeboarding. With a professional driver at the helm you trade the chores of navigation and launch for the calm of watching Tahoe’s shoreline and dropping the tow rope when the mood strikes.
