Rent a 22' Cobalt from Sunnyside Watersports and spend consecutive days skimming the clear water of Lake Tahoe aboard an open‑bow runabout built for comfort and play. The boat fits up to eight people, comes equipped with life jackets, a Bluetooth stereo and bimini shade, and can be outfitted with tubes, a wakeboard or water skis for a multi‑day getaway that rewards longer bookings with steep discounts and flexible delivery to many lakeside homes and buoys.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE BOAT

A 22' Cobalt built for Tahoe cruising

This open‑bow runabout with a Deep V hull is sized for up to eight people—small groups and single families get the stability and cockpit space to cruise comfortably while still towing a tube or wakeboarder.

THE PLAY

Wakeboarding, tubing and on‑board comfort

Rentals include life jackets, safety equipment, and a Bluetooth stereo plus a bimini for shade; add a floating tube, wakeboard or water skis to turn each day on the lake into a lineup of tow sports and sun breaks.

THE LOGISTICS

Multi‑day savings and delivery options

Rates start from $2,745.40 for a two‑day rental with tiered savings for longer bookings; you can pick the boat up at Sunnyside or have it delivered free to lakefront houses and buoys on the West Shore (Sugar Pine Point to GarWoods), with a nominal delivery fee outside that zone.

What the day feels like

What the multi‑day rental feels like

A multi‑day Cobalt rental turns Lake Tahoe from a single outing into a short chain of itinerant days: mornings spent plotting a run for wake sports, afternoons anchored in a calm cove shaded by the bimini, evenings returning to shore for a lakeside meal—back at the launch for a tidy 10 a.m. return on the final day. The package is set up to keep equipment simple (life jackets and safety gear are included) while letting you add one free onboard toy for up to 10 days and additional items if you want more variety.
