Celebrating Our Coastal Communities
Formed in 2014, Whitstable Maritime, is a maritime charity focused on celebrating our maritime heritage, supporting coastal economic development, addressing marine environment issues, and encouraging well-being.
Whitstable Maritime’s objectives are:
- Restoring the iconic Historic Oyster Yawl, ‘Gamecock’, according to the National Historic Ships criteria
- Whitstable 5Km Coastal Trail
- Developing the Maritime Curriculum
Whitstable Maritime is run by skilled volunteers and has been extremely successful in raising funds and grants to support their work. The Charity enjoys strong relationships with local businesses, organisations and the community.
Our mission is to benefit society and protect our environment, through providing access to a range of maritime themed activities which promote and enable positive engagement with Whitstable’s heritage, culture and surroundings as a means to improved education, health and wellbeing outcomes.
Whitstable Maritime is a registered charity no. 1171563
