The Wooden Boat Rendezvous is an annual gathering of classic wooden boats that takes place in the Fall (late September, early October) at the Monmouth Boat Club. The gathering celebrates local and not so local classic boats, but all boats are owned by people who are passionate about designing, fixing, restoring and building their own boats. Since 2001 when about 15 participants gathered to show their boats and discuss their renovations, the event has returned to Monmouth Boat Club with an ever larger circle of exhibitors and viewers.
