Sightseeing cruises on the South Shore will resume next week.

After being docked for more than a month because of the low lake level, the Tahoe Paradise will be taking on passengers starting March 5. The yacht will sail daily at 1:30pm from the Ski Run Marina.

The Tahoe Queen is still sidelined because of the water level in the channel at the marina. Aramark operates both vessels. It is Aramark’s responsibility to dredge so there is access, but the company hasn’t even taken out a permit.

The M.S. Dixie II, the company’s other paddle-wheeler, is out of commission as it goes through a renovation. It should be back in service in late spring out of Zephyr Cove marina.
