Dillon Water Taxi and Lake Tours was founded on the premise to provide an affordable water transportation service between the marinas of Dillon and Frisco Bay as well as sight seeing tours of the entire lake.

Its foundation includes an educational briefing opportunity for all passengers, mostly tourists about Summit County and the surrounding communities. We also offer a unique opportunity for local residents to private charter a sizable boat to accommodate their function needs.

About Lake Dillon

Dillon Reservoir, sometimes referred to as Lake Dillon, is a large fresh water reservoir located in Summit County, Colorado, south of I-70 and bordered by the towns of Frisco, Silverthorne, and Dillon. It is a reservoir for the city of Denver, and its waters are under the control of Denver Water. Popular ski areas are close to the reservoir, including Copper Mountain, Keystone, Arapahoe Basin, and Breckenridge.

About The Marinas

Dillon Marina

Hundreds of sailboats can be seen docked or sailing. Dillon Marina hosts many weekend racing regattas and also provides sailboats for rent. The Dillon Yacht Club is based out of the Dillon Marina and also hosts many sailing events.

Frisco Marina

Frisco Bay Marina is a certified clean marina located on the shores of scenic Dillon Reservoir in the heart of Summit County, Colorado. The Reservoir spans 3,300 acres and boasts 27 miles of shoreline surrounded by majestic peaks. At 9,017 ft. in elevation, the boating season is weather dependent, but typically runs from early June to early or mid September.
