What you can expect

Experience the timeless elegance of the Safari Rose on a scenic 2-hour cocktail and mocktail cruise across the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe. Step aboard one of the lake’s most iconic yachts and enjoy a relaxed evening journey from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM as you cruise toward the breathtaking beauty of Emerald Bay and back.

This “5 O’clock Somewhere” cruise is perfect for guests who want to unwind, take in unforgettable lake views, and enjoy a more elevated way to experience Lake Tahoe. Whether you are visiting for the first time, celebrating a special occasion, or simply looking for a memorable evening on the water, the Safari Rose offers a beautiful and comfortable setting.

As the yacht leaves the marina, settle in and enjoy panoramic views of Lake Tahoe’s deep blue water, surrounding Sierra Nevada mountains, and dramatic shoreline. The Safari Rose features classic yacht style, spacious decks, and comfortable indoor and outdoor areas, giving guests plenty of room to relax, sip, socialize, and enjoy the ride.

During the cruise, guests can enjoy a specially curated Happy Hour Drink Menu with cocktails, mocktails, wine, beer, sparkling selections, and refreshing non-alcoholic options available for purchase. Complimentary appetizers are also included, making this a light, social, and flavorful way to spend the early evening.

The route takes you across Lake Tahoe toward world-famous Emerald Bay, one of the most photographed and admired destinations in the region. Along the way, enjoy views of the rugged shoreline, alpine scenery, and the remarkable clarity of the lake. Depending on the evening conditions, you may see the changing colors of the sky reflecting across the water, creating a peaceful and memorable atmosphere.

As you approach Emerald Bay, take in views of granite cliffs, forested slopes, and iconic Fannette Island. This protected area is known for its natural beauty, rich history, and postcard-worthy scenery. Seeing Emerald Bay from the water offers a unique perspective without the crowds, traffic, or hiking required to reach the viewpoints by land.

The Safari Rose itself adds to the experience with its classic design and inviting atmosphere. Guests can move between the open-air deck and comfortable interior spaces, making the cruise enjoyable in a variety of weather conditions. Whether you prefer to stand outside with a drink in hand, take photos from the deck, or relax indoors while still enjoying the views, the yacht offers a stylish way to experience the lake.

This cruise is ideal for couples, small groups, friends, families, visitors, and locals looking for something special to do in South Lake Tahoe. It is also a great option before dinner, after a day of exploring, or as a relaxed evening activity. The 5:00 PM departure makes it easy to enjoy happy hour on the water while still having the rest of the evening open.

Come aboard, raise a glass, and enjoy the feeling that it is always “5 O’clock Somewhere” on Lake Tahoe.
