Check here for Buy it Now & early auction items!

From bucket-list journeys in faraway lands to unforgettable Woods Hole experiences, every winning bid helps support the Museum.

Our Jubilee Silent Auction is all about experiences, adventures, talents, and opportunities you simply can't buy in a store. Whether you're dreaming of an extraordinary travel escape or a memorable day right here in Woods Hole, you'll discover adventures both near and far.

Will your winning bid whisk you away on the trip of a lifetime, or lead to a uniquely local adventure?

A sunset sail. A picnic on a hidden shore. A behind-the-scenes tour. A fascinating excursion. A private lesson. A day on the water. An unforgettable meal. Or, that wonderfully unusual experience only you can offer!

Have a skill? Share it. Have access to someplace special? Open the door. Have a boat, a talent, or a brilliant idea? Dream up something memorable and donate it!

Then come to the Gala ready to bid on one-of-a-kind experiences and services—uniquely Woods Hole, delightfully unexpected, and impossible to wrap.

No clutter. No tchotchkes. No "stuff." Just unforgettable experiences, new connections, and great stories waiting to happen.

Note that many donations will likely be fulfilled in 2027, during the summer season.
