Tahoe City Marina, formerly known as Tahoe Boat Company, is one of the oldest marinas on Lake Tahoe and was built in the 1940s by Norman Mayfield and Fred Mein. The harbor and the Tahoe City Marina Mall (historically known as the "Roundhouse") was the northern "end of the line" for Lake Tahoe's railway and Transportation Company.

In 2010, Tahoe City Marina began construction on the new expansion side which was completed in early 2012. This brought the addition of eighty-one slips that are owned by the Marina and rented, not sold, to the public. In addition, the expansion includes two new Fuel Docks, offering gasoline and diesel, and a new public pier with two hour complimentary boat parking. All of these amenities on the expansion side, have increased the public access to Lake Tahoe from the Tahoe City downtown area.
