A definite 5. No staff around when we came just put a few notes thru the slot… Had a great time looking around a great collection.

This is a nice quiet spot, can be a bit windy coming from the west. Close to town centre.

A wonderful museum! A lot of beautiful classic boats and engines often with detailed history and information. Fantastic restoration work done by skilled people!

Some outstanding examples of waterborne art and craftsmanship displayed so that they can be seen in close detail. American classic car enthusiasts will appreciate the styling of the luxury "speed boats". Over 80 outboard motors wall mounted. Not all the displays have information boards but for the very modest $5 entry fee it is a must do when passing through.
