• 22nd Annual Charity Boat Auction

Boats, BBQ & more at August 31 Charity Boat Auction This Labor Day weekend, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum is hosting the 21st annual Charity Boat Auction on Saturday, August 31. More than 100 donated boats and watercraft—ranging in size and performance from luxury boats to dinghies—will be in the water and on land to be auctioned off to the highest bidders. The event also includes a flea market-style tag sale from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., when guests can purchase a variety of used boating gear, including ground tackle, electrical equipment, hardware, rope, chain, oars, life jackets, fishing tackle, motors, and more. Proceeds from the rain or shine event benefit the children and adults served by CBMM’s education, restoration, and exhibition programming.
