🌟 2025 Awards of Excellence: Rock the Boat 
Yacht Rock Favs with the CCC
Presented by the Carmel Chamber of Commerce

Ahoy, Chamber Crew! 🚤🌴
The Carmel Chamber of Commerce cordially invites you to set sail for the 2025 Awards of Excellence — Rock the Boat: Yacht Rock Favs with the CCC!

Join us for an unforgettable evening as we drop anchor to celebrate the stars of our business community. From smooth sounds to smooth operators, we’re honoring the standout businesses, nonprofits, and organizations that have shown true excellence, innovation, and heart.

🎤 Get ready to groove as we announce the winners of 18 award categories — including the coveted Business of the Year — and present our signature STAR Awards.

🧥 Attire: Yacht Rock Chic — think linen, leisure suits, boat shoes, breezy glam, captain’s hats, and anything that channels your inner Kenny Loggins or Hall & Oates.

🍸 Expect:
• Signature cocktails & coastal cuisine
• Live tunes with smooth 70s flair
• Sail Away photos, themed décor, and some “Come Sail Away” vibes
• A few surprises that’ll make this night one to remember

Come aboard and toast the very best of Carmel’s business community. This is your all-access pass to a night of celebration, connection, and smooth sailing success.
