The Ultimate Party Boat on Lake Tahoe
Rent the Weekender — a 36-foot pontoon boat at Zephyr Cove on the South Shore, with BBQ, water slide, bar & bathroom. Built for bachelor parties, family reunions, and crew celebrations of 8 to 12 guests.
A Floating Venue for Your Crew
More than a boat — it's a private party space on the crystal-clear waters of Lake Tahoe. BBQ lunch in a hidden cove, slide into the water, or just cruise with a drink in hand.
Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't
The Weekender is a 36-foot pontoon boat docked at Zephyr Cove Marina on the south shore of Lake Tahoe. With a built-in BBQ, a water slide, a shaded bar area, a private bathroom, and room for 12, it's designed for groups who want to celebrate.
Two Options. Zero Hassle.
Choose a half-day adventure or take the full day and make the lake your own. Fuel surcharge applies separately.
Your Group. Your Occasion.
Whether it's a bachelor party, a family milestone, or a corporate off-site, the Weekender turns a day on Lake Tahoe into the highlight of the trip.
Not Just a Boat. An Experience.
BBQ on the Water
A built-in grill means you can cook lunch anchored in a secluded Lake Tahoe cove. Bring your own food and drinks.
Water Slide
Launch yourself off the slide into Lake Tahoe's famously clear water. The best way to cool off at elevation.
Private Bathroom
A real onboard bathroom means your group can stay out all day without heading back to the dock.
