What we do

Boating Babes is an inclusive female led boating school teaching all individuals the mariner skills they need to feel safe and confident on the water. Whether it is for leisure, fishing, or water sports the ability to drive a boat brings a sense of accomplishment and self-reliance. So, grip the wheel, and steer your own course.

Welcome to Boating Babes.

It’s nice to meet you!

My name is Alex! I am a USCG-licensed charter captain and NSBC-certified boating instructor. I grew up boating on beautiful Lake Tahoe and I know the ins and outs of the Lake. I look forward to sharing this knowledge with you in our exclusive on-water boater safety courses! In addition, when I’m not on Tahoe, you will find me captaining and guiding in Alaska for Lindblad Expeditions and National Geographic. I look forward to working together!

What people are saying.

  • "We had an awesome day with Captain Alex! Alex was super friendly and very professional. We were able to kick back and relax and enjoy our time on the lake with no stress. We felt like our boat was in good hands. Will definitely book her again"

  • "Wonderful training session with Alex! I was a nervous mess before this lesson, and she helped me so much with gaining confidence, feeling comfortable driving our boat, and is so knowledgeable & experienced with boats! If you’re considering a lesson as a newbie or as a seasoned boater, she is the best! Highly recommend!"

    — Tricia ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
