​The Classic Boat Museum relies on the support and sponsorship of local people, organisations and businesses. Visitors and Friends from across the UK and further afield are also very important to the continued development of the museum. The donation or loan of artefacts, paintings and other heritage material is  important in developing the collection and building the marine heritage story so significant in the history of Cowes. Here we recognise many of the supporters and sponsors who have recently helped the museum. Our thanks also to those who those who have supported us anonymously.​
