50 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE
AUGUST 8 – 9, 2025
SHOW YOUR BOAT
Showcase your boat among some of the most well-preserved and restored boats in the world at North America’s premier wooden boat show! Each year the Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance features more than 60 classic watercrafts. The Tahoe Yacht Club Foundation’s goal is to always have the best boats in the world, and only the finest boats that measure up to Concours‘ meticulous quality standards will be accepted into the show. Admission into Concours is a benchmark for wooden boat owners but classic fiberglass boats can also be entered. With continuously growing interest in participation in the show and a limited number of berths at Obexer’s Marina, we encourage you to register early.
THE MARQUE CLASS
All different types of boats are displayed at the Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance, but it’s the featured Marque Class that makes each Concours extraordinary. A Marque Class is selected every year by a panel of nationally recognized classic boat experts and judges to exhibit at the show. Each individual Marque Class is designed to bring a unique element and theme to the show and to ensure boating enthusiasts a new educational and viewing experience year after year.
2025 Marque Class – 100th Anniversary of Gar Wood Boats
In 2025, the Lake Tahoe Concours d’Elegance celebrates the 100th anniversary of Gar Wood boats! Gar Wood boats are among the most sought-after wooden boats in the world and every one is a classic. In the 1920s, Obexer’s Boat Company was the Tahoe agenct for Gar Wood speedboats, making this prestigious anniversary celebration all the more extraordinary.
