Boating & Cruises

  • Lake Tahoe is a boater’s paradise — the perfect boating destination with easily accessible boat launches and world renowned crystal-clear blue water. With 72 miles of shoreline and a surface area of 193 square miles it’s possible to spend the entire summer exploring Lake Tahoe’s pristine waters.

    Annual boating events make Lake Tahoe a unique boating experience. Each year the Tahoe Yacht Club hosts the annual Concours d’Elegance, celebrating the craftsmanship of wooden boats, also known as “woodies.” If you’re lucky, you might catch a glimpse of Lake Tahoe’s most-renowned wooden boat, the Thunderbird, a 55’ vessel considered one of the most extravagant wooden boats of its time.

    Tahoe fishermen can enjoy angling for Machinaw trout and Kokanee salmon. Various fishing guides are available to make the most of your fishing experience.
