THE FLEET

Two purpose-built 22' surf boats

Renters choose between the Mastercraft NXT22 and the Supreme V226 — both 22'6" surf boats engineered for wake performance with powerful V-drive and Ilmor/Motor options, designed to create surfable wakes while offering a roomy, luxury interior.

THE CAPACITY

Designed for shared days on the water

Each boat seats up to 10 passengers, making these rentals a strong fit for groups who want to split riding time while still enjoying a roomy cabin and cockpit layout.

THE ACTIVITIES

Surfing, wakeboarding and skiing

The rental boats are optimized for wake sports — surf, wakeboard and ski — giving riders the power and ballast characteristics necessary to shape surfable waves and stable towing planes for a full day on Lake Tahoe.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

A rental day aboard a 22' wake surf boat is about time on the water with a small crew — carving wakes, swapping riders, and relaxing in a more spacious interior than many larger competitors. Rentals are intended for watersports use and come in flexible blocks from multi-hour outings to multi-day bookings so you can tailor a session to surf, tow or explore the lake with a compact, performance-oriented boat.
