About the Museum

Museum4 scans_0001In 1998 the Museum was incorporated by several local boating enthusiasts. It’s charter is to preserve, display and educate…primarily centered around our rich New Jersey boating heritage. In 1999 NJMB found a home at Johnson Brothers Boat Works in Point Pleasant and subsequently the public was invited to a preview of the Museum. That December NJMB received its IRS letter of determination as a 501(c) (3) non-profit corporation, and membership continued to grow. NJMB made it through Super storm Sandy and has re-located in Building #13 at Johnson Brothers Boat Works adding numerous new exhibits to its portfolio. With over 200 members and growing, NJMB boasts over 6000 annual visitors and is a regular destination for Boy Scout Troops, Clubs, and school groups from the Central New Jersey area.
