Each year, on the 4th Saturday of August, we go back in time a bit to enjoy the craftsmanship and camaraderie of wooden and classic boat owners. It's a great event and the most spectacular venue! The display of boats on land or water bring the Pentwater community a show to remember each year. We have been averaging more the 50 boats in recent years, along with vendors and plenty of guests who gaze in awe at the masterpieces.
It's the one time each year that the public can join us for lunch without being accompanied by a member. The show is open to the public and will feature dozens of vintage and classic boats. Brands like Chris-Craft, Century, Garwood and Lyman will be among those represented.
The day includes:
Boats on display beginning at 11:00 am.
Engine start-up at noon.
Buffet lunch from noon to 2:00 pm.
Awards presented beginning at 3:00 pm ("Best Wooden", "Best Classic", "Best of Show", as well as "Century" & "Chris-Craft" club awards). Visitors will get to vote for the "People’s Choice Award".
Boats’ owners parade around the lake at approximately 3:30 pm.
Commodore’s review at 4:00 pm.
The Boat Show Parade will be held at 3:30 and each year we have more and more members joining us at PYC to see these works of art and hear their amazing motors. Please consider joining us at 3:30 for a drink and an awesome display of classic boats! Let's make this turnout the biggest one yet!
