Wonderful experience. The crew was friendly, knowledgeable, funny, and courteous. The views were amazing!! Enjoyed every minute...and the music was great.

50 out of 5 stars! What a great time. The boat was really nice, there were 5 main areas. the front/bow of the boat with deck chairs to really experience the water, a really nice bar area at the water line to sip a cocktail, two indoor parlor rooms and a semi-open deck on the roof for great views. The tour was nice, the captain gave just the right amount of narration so you could learn about the history, the natural environment - you'll learn something but its not so much info that you feel like its a lecture. The staff was fantastic - really attentive, helpful, friendly and informative. Our group ranged from 3 to 73 and everyone had a good time - even the teenagers cracked smiles.

We had an excellent experience on the Bleu Wave yacht. It's family friendly and such a great way to explore the lake. We did the tour to Emerald Bay, which was absolutely beautiful. We had a nice smooth ride filled with drinks (alcoholic and nonalcoholic) and small snacks (chips, goldfish, popcorn). They also have hot cocoa too. The captain and staff were kind, excellent hosts. There are also bathrooms onboard. One important note: I think you need to pick up actual tickets at a storefront before boarding. We missed this ( and so did 16 other people) but they worked with us onsite on it.

Great crew and tour! Highly recommend a look at these guys if you're interested in a boat tour!

View from Lake Tahoe southwest shoreline enroute to Emerald Bay

This is the second cruise we have done with them. Highly recommend! The crew is nice, funny, want everyone to have a good time. The ticket price includes a drink. They offer several different launch times (10am, 1pm, 4pm) I think they also offer a sunset cruise. The views are beautiful!

Emerald Bay

Had the best time on Lake Tahoe with Captain Augustine and his first mate. Great highlights, stories, and playlist!! Highly recommend!

Great tour! We scheduled this tour with our family of 5. We have 3 little kids. They were able to walk about and enjoy the boat and staff. The staff was amazing! Shout out to Willin! He made the best "Mop Water" drink. The staff even did a birthday shout out for my 10 year old daughter. Thank you guys for making it a memorable trip.

Incredible afternoon spent on the Bleu Wave learning about Lake Tahoe and enjoying the views and beverages. Highly recommend this comfortable boat and crew. Each guest receives two drink tickets for alcoholic beverages. Water, soft drinks and snacks are all included in price of ticket. Beautiful vessel built in the early 1960s and well maintained. Has had several owners before becoming a Lake Tahoe tourist vessel. I wish the trip would have been longer than two hours, which took us to beautiful Emerald Bay. Highly recommend.

Sebastian and Captain Auggie are the best! We had the best time with the best views!

Our sunset cruise was cancelled. Yet nobody called to tell us. There was nobody at the Marina. And nobody answered their phone. They had our number and email yet nobody reached out to us to let us know. So a whole day of vacation was wasted since they wanted us there by 2 pm. Then have the nerve to reach out and ask me to leave a review. So here it is.

Snow or Shine: A Winter Cruise with Tahoe Bleu Wave

Warm season Lake Tahoe cruises are common, but can you imagine being on a boat in the middle of Lake Tahoe on a serene winter day? It’s a beautiful sight: the shocking blue of the lake, soft pillows of snow resting on the branches of the surrounding trees, the massive Sierra Nevada standing out against a blue or gray sky and, quite possibly, not another boat in sight.

The Tahoe Bleu Wave is one of the only boats that runs year-round in Lake Tahoe — snow or shine as long as it’s not a full-blown winter storm. Central heating is available throughout the boat, and there’s a cozy fireplace in the cabin that keeps the interior surprisingly warm even on the coldest of Tahoe days. 

When you book the Tahoe Bleu Wave , a friendly crew greets you in front of the 47-passenger yacht in the Tahoe Keys Marina. Once aboard, you’re free to roam around the boat and get your bearings before gliding off into Big Blue. 

The 70-plus-foot yacht was built in 1966, and MontBleu (now Bally’s) later bought it to take out its high rollers. It was originally called the Bow Wave before being renamed Bleu Wave , which was a much more fitting name for the boat and its relationship to the casino. About 15 years ago, the owner, Laura, and her former business partner bought the boat, and in 2017 they moved the Tahoe Bleu Wave over to Tahoe Keys Marina in South Lake Tahoe, where the shoreline and marina are a bit more protected. Laura now has sole ownership and is the only female big boat owner on the lake.

Tahoe Blue Wave offers three daily public cruises (times shifting with the seasons and sunsets) as well as private charters for weddings and other events. The crew on this boat is always busy; when there’s snow, they shovel off the boat, and they are constantly doing upkeep to keep her running smoothly. When Laura took over operations in August of 2018, she and the crew upgraded the aesthetics, replacing furniture in the bar, installing new carpet, adding fresh coats of paint and turning the below-deck staterooms into one big lounge area. 

The lounge is big enough for 30 people to have dinner, a bride to get ready for her memorable ceremony or for the sports fans on board to watch the big game (its new flatscreen TV have the ability to stream football) while the rest of the party takes in the natural environment upstairs. Little tweaks are always being made to the Tahoe Bleu Wave so that she runs better, is more comfortable and is a bit more impressive to her guests. 

There are generally no other boats out on Lake Tahoe in the winter months, except for the occasional fisherman. Instead, the lake is more alive with wildlife, and it’s common to see bald eagles, osprey, hawks and even black bears walking the shoreline. Laura says that Hank the Tank, a locally famous bear, has frequently been spotted from the boat.

“In the winter Fannette Island becomes a wildlife preserve; Canada geese nest out there,” Laura says. 

Many guests note how quiet the boat is as it glides across the water. Laura says that is thanks to the newer engines and generator. Guests are also fascinated by the incredible amount of detail you can see so far below the water’s surface when peering over the railings. At one point you can see the remains of a sunken structure resting on the floor of the lake.

Laura says that the 11 a.m. cruise is the best one to go on during a clear Tahoe day because you can see more in the lake when the sun is directly overhead. This is the most popular time slot for families. Friends, couples and romantics tend to prefer the sunset cruise. All cruises include light snacks and soda, juice and water as well as access to a full bar. 

In the wintertime a Bleu Wave cruise is a nice alternative to skiing on those days when you need a break. The two activities complement each other well, giving you a glimpse of Tahoe from all perspectives – a mountain view from the lake (on the Tahoe Bleu Wave ) and a lake view from the mountain (on Heavenly).

The Tahoe Bleu Wave offers private charters and has hosted many weddings, anniversary parties and corporate events. Their experiences tend to be so unforgettable that many people continue to come back year after year to relive it. “Whatever people want to do, we try to accommodate,” Laura says. 

One of the best things about a Bleu Wave cruise is the staff. You can tell they enjoy their jobs, and it makes a difference.

“Our staff tends to stay with us, and they love it. They get to be on a boat all day and meet people from all over the world,” Laura says, adding how important it is to her to take care of her team. “It’s not a bad office,” she says, and once you stand on that deck you’ll certainly agree.

The Moscow metro now has a full 4G coverage

• On 19 Oct 2018

The Tele2 mobile network company became the first to build an infrastructure for 100% stations of the Moscow's metro. The high-quality 4G internet is now available on all 259 stations of the Moscow's metro, Moscow Central Circle (MCC) and monorail.

The operator has secured a 100% 4G indoor-coverage internet an all stations of the metropolitan metro, including the passageways, pavilions, and stairways. The investments into the project have exceeded 800 million rubles.

The Moscow underground is a specific infrastructure object, which has its own particularities. All works on designing, installation, and adjustment of the hardware should have been conducted exceptionally during night hours when the metro is closed for entry. A sufficient number of stations have a status of cultural heritage, thus, the network development has required additional approvement from the Department of Cultural Heritage of Moscow.

The network coverage within the metro system opens new horizons for the analysis of the "big data". Tele2 Network has analyzed the users' activity during the summer months and has indicated the busiest metro lines, which were: Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya, Zamoskvoretskaya and Kaluga-Riga lines. During the summer months, on the stations of Tagansko-Krasnopresnenskaya lines the subscribers have downloaded 125 TByte of internet-traffic, have made over 2 million calls with the total duration of 27 thousand hours, which equals to 3 years.
