Our Friday afternoon was spent on the iconic Safari Rose as it opened its doors to the public for a special dockside Open House at Ski Run Marina."Guests are invited to tour one of Lake Tahoe’s most recognizable vessels, meet the crew, and enjoy complimentary refreshments while experiencing a unique piece of Tahoe maritime history."
The Safari Rose is without a doubt the largest, most luxurious yacht on Lake Tahoe. Built in 1959 for the 3M Corporation, she's 80 ft long and 20 feet wide, has 6 bathrooms, a dining room, a heated salon with leather and teak, full bar, beautiful enclosed fantail, sun deck and even a cozy fireplace.She's been to the Great Lakes, cruised the eastern seaboard to Florida, the Caribbean, sailed through the Panama Canal to the Puget Sound and north to Alaska and now is here on which to spend a wonderful Friday afternoon.The Safari Rose regularly hosts sightseeing cruises, private charters, weddings, corporate gatherings, and specialty excursions across beautiful Lake Tahoe. As a matter of fact, this is my and Steve's third time on the Rose. We actually went out on it as guests for a birthday party and once to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary.We really should have gotten Steve a peg leg. What a funny photo.The yacht has been out of commission for the last couple of years in order to replace the engines. Steve was very impressed with not only the hardware but also with the logistics that allowed the replacement to happen.Nothing says "Weekend" like one wearing a life preserver, sitting on a yacht pretending that it's yours, in the company of some of one's favorite people. I 💛 Tahoe.
