August 11-12, 2023 | Obexer’s Marina
Lake Tahoe’s premier wooden boat show returns to the historic Obexer’s Boat Company this August 11-12, 2023! This event provides a showcase of the most well-preserved and restored wooden boats found across the world. The legendary Thunderbird Yacht will also return for the 49th year of this event.
The Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance began as a few wooden boat owners came together to share their passion. Since then, Concours has consistently raised the bar year after year to earn the title of North America’s premier wooden boat show.
Presented by the Yacht Club Foundation, TYCF’s mission is to raise money to help preserve the environment and history of the Lake Tahoe Basin. The Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance is the Foundation’s largest event. Since it’s induction, and thanks to the Concours community, the Foundation has been able to award over $410,000 in grants to various maritime-related, charitable, and cultural organizations.
History
In 1972, a handful of Tahoe Yacht Club Members and their friends gathered at Chamber’s Landing for the first ever Concours. The show moved to Tahoe City’s Tahoe Boat Company in 1976 and then to the Sierra Boat Company in Carnelian Bay in 1993.
In 2014, Concours came full circle and returned to the West Shore and the birthplace of wooden pleasure boating on Lake Tahoe. Obexer’s Boat Company was the first wooden boat dealership in Lake Tahoe and offers the perfect throw-back setting to feature the classic Concours.
