What a wonderful little museum. The volunteers are a happy, friendly bunch who made our visit just that little more special, and all they ask for in return is an optional £2 donation. The lady (Fiona) in the shop was very helpful when it came to buying souvenirs. While the gentleman (sorry can't remember his name) was very informative as he demonstrated how to make rope. I'd recommend a visit just for the warm welcome from the volunteers. And the boats were interesting too.(23/4/22)

Watchet Harbour not the boat museum ! A little tired like most seaside towns in the UK but lovely little harbour ,the beach to the north with fossils to find is lovely but a steep climb. Watch out for the tide is very quick.

The guide in the museum was very knowledgeable about the flat bottomed boats on display and about the manufacture of ropes. There is a rope making piece of equipment available for visitors to try out rope making.

This is a wonderful little museum, not big but full of interesting exhibits and well worth a visit. The lovely museum staff clearly have a love for their little town and seem to genuinely enjoy telling you all about it. The lady who showed us around could not have been more friendly, informative and helpful. I cannot recommend it...
