Let’s go fast. Tahoe 2016 puts you behind the wheel of a Tahoe ski boat built for speed and play: a six‑person platform with a 150 HP four‑stroke outboard, removable ski post, stereo and swim ladder, plus a retractable soft‑top for shade. It’s offered as a day rental that doubles as a faster‑paced tour of the Red Canyon or a full day of water‑sports and play.

What the day feels like

What the day feels like

A typical day is straightforward and kinetic: a long, 9.5‑hour rental window gives you time for a fast tour through Red Canyon or repeated tow runs for skiing and boarding. The boat’s ski post and on‑board ladder let you switch quickly between runs and swims, while the stereo and retractable awning keep the group comfortable between bursts of speed.
