Corporate Membership
Kingman Yacht Center in Bourne shows its commitment to clean water through corporate membership with the Coalition.
“Kingman Yacht Center is proud to support the work of the Buzzards Bay Coalition. As Cape Cod’s largest marina and boatyard, we take stewardship of our harbor and Bay very seriously. But as a small business, there’s only so much we can do on our own. Working with and through the Coalition, our efforts to protect our environment are compounded by the work of their talented staff, and our local efforts have regional impact.” -Scott Zeien, Owner, Kingman Yacht Center
