Work on the museum's exhibits progressed through the winter of 1999 and on April 22, 2000 the New Jersey Museum of Boating, Inc., officially opened its doors. In 2002, NJMB became the newest destination on the New Jersey Coastal Heritage Trail, achieving recognition by the National Park Service for the historic value of its collection and location.
Today, NJMB has over 350 member households and has hosted more than 20,000 visitors from across the nation and around the world. The museum is a regular destination for school groups from throughout Ocean and Monmouth Counties and surrounding regions.
Currently housed at the historic Johnson Brothers Boat Works in Point Pleasant, the museum uses just about every inch of its 2000 square feet of space. To that end, we are excited to announce plans for a new location at Trader's Cove Park on Mantoloking Road in Brick.
Beyond offering more space, the new location will be housed in historic replicas of two important lifesaving stations from New Jersey's maritime past and include a clam bar, museum store, and 120-seat theater. Work on the new location will begin in early 2008, with a scheduled grand opening in early 2009. Keep an eye on the site to watch our progress!
