Atlantic Marine will host its 10th annual Stuff a Boat Party on Saturday, November 14, 2026, from 5 to 9 p.m. at 520 Dunlawton Avenue in Port Orange, Florida. The holiday celebration invites the community to help fill one of Atlantic Marine's boats with new, unwrapped toys, with proceeds going to Volusia County Toys for Tots. Admission is $10 at the door plus one new, unwrapped toy per person. The evening features live music by Are Friends Electric, food trucks, raffles and a live auction.
The event has grown each year. Last year, about 400 guests helped collect roughly 3,000 toys and raise nearly $70,000 for Toys for Tots. In Volusia County, Toys for Tots distributed 46,978 toys and supported 15,664 children. Those figures underscore the scale of need in the community and the tangible difference the Stuff a Boat Party makes for local families during the holiday season.
"Stuff a Boat is more than just a party; it's a community coming together to make Christmas brighter for children in need," said Kristen Wiles of Atlantic Marine. "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. Businesses interested in sponsoring the event can call 386-852-1119. For more information, visit atlanticmarinefl.com/toys-for-tots.
The milestone 10th anniversary comes as demand for holiday assistance remains high. With 15,664 children served in Volusia County last year, the need for toys and funds is clear. The Stuff a Boat Party offers residents and businesses a direct way to contribute to that effort while enjoying an evening of entertainment and community spirit. For Atlantic Marine, the event also reinforces its role as a local business that gives back. For more than 30 years, the company has been helping people realize their dreams on the water, and its ongoing commitment to the community is evident in this decade-long tradition. As the event continues to grow, so does its impact on the lives of children in Volusia County. Those interested in learning more about Atlantic Marine can visit atlanticmarinefl.com.
