Charity Boat Auction

Charity Boat Auction

Saturday, Sept. 5 | 8am-1pm

CBMM will host its annual Charity Boat Auction on Saturday, Sept. 5, inviting guests to its waterfront campus to bid on donated vessels of all shapes and sizes in support of its mission.

Dozens of boats and watercraft, ranging in size and performance, will be auctioned off to the highest bidders, beginning at 11am. There will be reserves on several top-quality vessels, while the rest will be offered with no minimum.

All registration for in-person bidding is handled on the day of the event. Check back for more auction details, including inventory updates, auction rules, and absentee bidding protocols and registration.

A Labor Day weekend staple for more than two decades, the Charity Boat Auction is the flagship event of CBMM’s Charity Boat Donation Program, which accepts and sells gently used boats year-round. Every sale directly supports CBMM’s mission to explore and preserve the history, environment, and culture of the entire Chesapeake Bay region and make this resource available to all.

The doors open at 8am, providing an opportunity to browse the inventory before the auction begins. Guests can also shop a flea market-style tag sale that features a variety of used boating gear.

If you have additional questions about the auction or available inventory, please contact the CBMM Charity Boat Donation team at boatdonation@cbmm.org or 410-310-5103.

For safety reasons, non-service dogs are prohibited during CBMM festivals and special events, including the Charity Boat Auction.
