About North Lake Tahoe Boat Rental
At North Lake Tahoe Boat Rental, we have been getting people out on the water here in Tahoe Vista since 2017. Our story started with a passion for boating and a desire to share that experience with others. There are too many people who visit Tahoe who do not have the ability to get out on the lake and we’re here to fix that. We want to enable as many people as possible to share and experience our passion for boating on Lake Tahoe. Proudly owned by a single family, NLTBR remains a small business committed to providing exceptional service and creating memorable experiences for all our customers.
Our crew is dedicated to making your time on the water seamless and unforgettable, assisting you every step of the way. Each boat rental includes the personalized attention of a dockhand or captain, ensuring your experience is smooth, enjoyable, and tailored to your needs. Our staff is eager to help you explore Tahoe’s best-kept secrets, from navigating the lake’s hidden gems to finding the perfect restaurants and activities to complement your day. We’re here to make sure every moment on the water becomes a cherished memory, while also helping you plan the rest of your perfect Tahoe vacation!

Elise
Manager
Hi my name is Elise! I am originally from Green Bay Wisconsin but have lived in Tahoe for just under 3 years now. My favorite pastimes are biking to farmers markets, reading on the beach, hiking, and spending time by the lake. I cannot wait to get you out on the water to experience the best of Lake Tahoe.
Ruby
Front Desk Admin
Hi, my name is Ruby! I was born and raised in Huntington Beach and moved to Tahoe for the first time about 2 years ago. I love being surrounded by nature and have a profound respect for its power. I enjoy spending time with family and friends, all outdoor activities, getting creative and crafty, and chasing adrenaline. Be kind, smile more.
Paige
Front Desk Admin
Paige lived in the East Bay, San Diego, and London before moving to Tahoe. When she is not working, she can be found painting, reading, or wandering the Truckee Farmers Market. In the winter, she teaches skiing and is on a mission to bake the perfect cardamom bun.
Nick
Captain
Captain Nick Feige was born with Tahoe in his blood and a compass in his hand. A true local raised on the North Shore, he’s spent more than 15 years navigating every bay, boulder, and backcurrent of the lake. As a U.S. Coast Guard–licensed captain, Nick blends sharp maritime skill with deep-rooted local knowledge — from the lake’s hidden beaches and shifting winds to its rich history and wild legends. Whether he’s piloting a sleek private charter or guiding guests through Tahoe’s quieter corners, Nick delivers more than a scenic ride. He curates unforgettable experiences, sharing the soul of the lake the way only a lifelong local can.
Trevor
Captain
Hi my name is Trevor. I’m from Reno, Nevada, and spent my summers growing up in Tahoe. I’m an avid golfer and enjoy all outdoor activities. I gravitate towards expensive coffee and growing up I actually hated boating but have grown to love boating.
Dan
Captain
Dan moved to Lake Tahoe in 2008 from Santa Cruz, Ca. He has spent the last 18 years exploring the Sierra Nevada Mountains and honing his skills and knowledge in the backcountry as a wilderness snowmobile guide, whitewater raft guide, merchant mariner, and avid skier. His knowledge of the lake is only surpassed by his respect for it and the natural world. Fun fact, Dan has been playing the drums since the age of 6 and is fascinated with sound design and music production.
Gray
Captain
Hi I’m Captain Gray, I am from Shreveport, Louisiana and have been living in Tahoe for 5 years. Did you know Lake Tahoe is 1645 feet deep with an average depth of over 1000 feet! My favourite thing about Lake Tahoe is the blending of the seasons. Some summers you can ski on snow and on the lake in the same day!
Drew
Captain
Hi, I’m Captain Drew, I’m originally from High Point, North Carolina but have lived in Tahoe for 7 years. When I’m not working, I like to golf, bike, paddleboard, and take my dog for a hike. Fun fact about me, I’ve never lost a fight to a grizzly bear. I’m super excited to see y’all out here on the lake!

Hey, I’m Adi! I am originally from Atlanta, but I have been out west for the last five years. I spend my winters teaching little rippers how to snowboard and love to cruise the mountain roads on my bike in the summer. I look forward to getting y’all out on the lake this summer!

Camden
Dockhand
Hey guys I’m Camden! This is my third year here at North Lake Tahoe Boat Rental. Although I love skiing and snowboarding during the winter, summers in Tahoe are far better. When I’m not at the dock or hanging out at the beach, I’m golfing, hiking, or showing the ladies who’s boss on the pickleball courts!

Colin

Hi, I’m Colin. I’ve been coming up to Tahoe since I was born, so it feels like a second home by now. This is my second season, and I’m from San Francisco where I’ve grown up loving the outdoors and staying active. I’m big on wakesurfing, good energy, and getting things done right. I’ll be heading to college in the fall and soaking up every moment here until then.
