In honor of our 25th Anniversary, we are celebrating the end of a year-long capital campaign to replace our aging fleet and to plan for future capital improvements. We are making plans for BTB to be around for another 25 years.  

Celebrate with us on Wednesday, August 3, 2022 at the Brigham Orchard.
Regatta and Tours of Floats and New Boats  | 4:00 PM
Pig Roast, Live Auction and Dancing | 6:00 PM
(Thanks to the Island Market for the Pig!)

Our mission to teach that lifelong love of sailing depends on the generosity of our donors and volunteers. Hundreds of sailors over the years have come away from a BTB experience with a feeling of joy in their hearts. Please consider a tax-deductible gift today to help us reach our goal of $125,000.

If you have questions about the capital campaign, please email BTB board member and fundraising chair, Merry Alderman at merryalderman@gmail.com

From time to time, Big Tree Boating will have sailboats, rowboats, other water craft or even log-splitters to sell. All proceeds go to benefit our sailors. 

If you are interested in purchasing a boat or making an in-kind donation, contact Ken Smith at (207) 691-1947 or bigtreeboating@gmail.com or stop in and inspect the boats, across from 346 Main Road.
