The Boathouse Community Trust
Rebuild for a better Boathouse. Join us in future proofing for the generations to come.
Nelson / Tasman
Built in 1906 and restored in 1986, The Boathouse has been a huge part of the Nelson community for over a century. Sadly when Cyclone Fehi struck, the old girl's bones proved to be strong but the floor boards not so much!
The Boathouse team is working hard to get repairs done as soon as possible and we want to supplement our insurance payout to future proof this historic building for the community. Join us in making Nelson's Boathouse stronger, safer and better than ever.
Boathouse Society members please include your name and (if possible) Boathouse membership number when making your donation.
More about us
