Thunderbird Lake Tahoe is home to America’s most recognizable—and possibly most valuable—wooden speedboat, the venerable Thunderbird Yacht. Since America’s Great Depression, The Thunderbird has transported guests in opulent luxury between high-mountain estates and luxury resorts. While her past is privileged and legendary, her future is uncertain.
Chartering Thunderbird Yacht will help save this iconic vessel for generations to come. Charitable contributions for private cocktail cruises start as low as $5,000 per hour (generally with 2 hr. minimum). Thunderbird can comfortably carry 16 passengers.
Yacht cruises may be combined with Thunderbird Lake Tahoe’s elegant Dinner-at-the-Castle for a truly memorable evening.
For a full-throttle experience, look no further than Thunderbird Yacht for your wedding, corporate function, family gathering, or special occasions.
Thunderbird Yacht is a historic landmark at-risk. Thunderbird Lake Tahoe receives no government support and is funded entirely by gifts from friends like you. Please help preserve Lake Tahoe’s maritime heritage by joining Thunderbird Lake Tahoe’s Preservation Club or making a charitable donation today.
