Lake Tahoe Boating
Founded more than a century ago, the Tahoe Yacht Club brings together people who share a passion for Lake Tahoe, boating, and an active outdoor lifestyle. Members enjoy a year-round calendar of sailing, powerboating, paddling, hiking, cycling, skiing, snowshoeing, golf, pickleball, bocce, monthly social gatherings, and signature celebrations including the Gin Fizz Fling & Blessing of the Fleet, Independence Day festivities, Kentucky Derby, Oktoberfest, Halloween, and New Year's Eve parties. The club also provides access to member-use kayaks, paddleboards, and sailboats, supports shoreline cleanups through its Blue Crew environmental team, offers reciprocity with yacht clubs around the world, and proudly sponsors the annual Lake Tahoe Concours d'Elegance, one of the world's premier antique and classic wooden boat shows.
The Tahoe Yacht Club Foundation
In 1972 a group of Tahoe Yacht Club members and friends got together to share their passion for wooden boats and created the Tahoe Yacht Club Foundation. From a modest beginning, the Lake Tahoe Concours d' Elegance has grown to play a significant role in the wooden boat community, as well as the Lake Tahoe maritime community. The Tahoe Yacht Club Foundation has hosted the Lake Tahoe Concours d'Elegance focusing on continuing and maintaining growth of the show, quality of boat exhibits, high judging standards and practices, and most importantly, the passion for wooden boats between exhibitors and the public.
Each year the Tahoe Yacht Club Foundation raises money for charitable donation which is exclusively focused in providing educational opportunities originating in the Lake Tahoe area that enhance expertise or understanding of maritime skills.
