Atlantic Marine's 10th Stuff a Boat Party to Benefit Toys for Tots

Atlantic Marine is gearing up for its 10th annual Stuff a Boat Party, a holiday tradition that brings the Port Orange community together to support Volusia County Toys for Tots. The event will take place on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 5 to 9 p.m. at Atlantic Marine’s location at 520 Dunlawton Avenue in Port Orange. Attendees are asked to bring a new, unwrapped toy and pay a $10 admission fee at the door, with all proceeds and toys benefiting local children in need. The evening promises live music by Are Friends Electric, food trucks, raffles, and a live auction, ensuring a festive atmosphere for a worthy cause.

The event has seen remarkable growth year after year. Last year, approximately 400 guests helped collect around 3,000 toys and raised nearly $70,000 for Toys for Tots. In Volusia County alone, Toys for Tots distributed 46,978 toys and supported 15,664 children, highlighting the significant impact of these donations. Kristen Wiles of Atlantic Marine emphasized the deeper meaning behind the celebration: “Stuff a Boat is more than just a party; it's a community coming together to make Christmas brighter for children in need. As we celebrate our 10th year, we are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our sponsors, local businesses, and community members who continue to make this event so special. Every toy donated makes a difference, and that's what it's all about.” Sponsorship opportunities are still available for businesses interested in supporting the cause; they can call 386-852-1119 for more information.

Atlantic Marine, a fixture in the Port Orange community for over 30 years, continues to help people realize their dreams on the water while giving back to those in need. The 10th annual Stuff a Boat Party is not just a celebration but a testament to the power of community generosity.
