Lake Tahoe Wedding Cruise

ell would definitely go again

top deck and had great views of the lake and surrounding area. They offered us sodas, coffee, water, juice, beer, or wine and they brought it to us with some snack options. It was a very relaxing and fun tour!

nest captain in the business! Augie's skills at navigating this 70' vessel and narrating with all the history you want to know (but not too much narrating) made this an excellent evening! The funnest thing we've done all week. Perfect end to a beautiful day. First mate Josh was excellent as well! I highly recommend this cruise!

y chip options. We enjoyed our time together, snapped a bunch of photos, sang along to the oldie tunes blasting out of the speakers and the captain let my niece drive the ship for awhile (and like really steer not an autopilot child-fake-out!). It was a nice memory and a great way to start the trip. But upon returning to the parking lot after sunset, we found that our car had been towed leaving 6 adults and 2 children stranded in an empty parking lot. Our main issue is with the Tahoe Keys Marina, Suntex who runs it and Lizette the Harbor Master as the zone we parked in was not clearly marked. But Bleu Wave isn’t off the hook. Once we boarded, the captain apologized for the tough parking situation as a large portion of the lot was cordoned off for a funeral that afternoon for “one of their own.” We shrugged it off knowing we got one of the final spaces along a stretch that had 15-20 cars parallel parked on it (towing company said they were ordered to tow 15 cars). This line of cars was no more than 20 yards away from the Bleu Wave attendant’s booth who checked us in and stood with us waiting for two in our party who were grabbing something from our car down that very lane. It would have been nice if she had been on high alert and warned that some of her customers may be in danger of a tow. In fact, two other gentlemen from the Bleu Wave cruise were towed along with us - and we drivers shared an Uber to retrieve them.

Two days later, my father and I returned to the marina to speak with Lacey of Bleu Wave, who was very kind and upset with the situation on our behalf but was unwilling to place adequate responsibility upon her ticket girl or the crew who could have warned us about the unique parking situation (which has not occurred in her 6 years there). But if it was such a unique situation shouldn’t that have made it easier to observe and protect your guests? Since we have no relation to the Marina but were customers of Bleu Wave, we requested a reimbursement for the towing cost (over $500) which would essentially be a 50% discount on what we spent on Bleu Wave and hope they will advocate for us and for future guests of the marina. It has been one week since we met with Lacey and she assured us that she had relayed it to her supervisor and that the Harbor Master would be contacted but we have not been offered restitution. I hope to come back soon to update this review with a situation that has been rectified because of improved parking signage installed and customers who have been reimbursed for their trouble. What began as a lovely memory continues to be bitterly discouraging. Photos that are attached to this review show the gravel lane where parked cars blocked the No Parking Signs.
