DONATE TO WAVERLEY – Help us keep our truly unique steamship paddling!

As a charity our primary aim is to maintain and operate Waverley for public benefit by offering a wide range of cruises on a living and working steam heritage attraction of national and international significance.

Maintaining a seagoing paddle steamer in full operation relies on donations, as well as fares, catering and shop sales income. During the 2024-25 winter period it is expected that well over £1 million will be spent directly on Waverley to maintain her and prepare for another full season of sailings.

We are exceptionally grateful to everyone who supports our efforts to keep Waverley sailing – without you a vital piece of our proud maritime, engineering and social heritage would have been lost forever.

We welcome one off donations or regular monthly donations from “Friends of Waverley“. Visit the Supporting Waverley section on our website for full details on how you can play a part and help keep Waverley sailing.

You can also support Waverley by purchasing items from Waverley’s Amazon Wish List.
