  1. Our experience renting a pontoon boat from Sunnyside Marina was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and ensured we had everything we needed for a great day on the lake. The pontoon itself was in excellent condition, and we appreciated the thorough safety briefing before setting off. Exploring Lake Tahoe from the water gave us a whole new perspective on its stunning landscapes and crystal-clear waters. Whether you're a seasoned boater or a first-timer like us, I highly recommend Sunnyside Marina for an unforgettable adventure on Lake Tahoe! Tahoe pontoon boats
