Watchet Boat Museum is a small museum in Watchet, Somerset.

It is housed in an old victorian goods shed next to the station.

The exhibits include several types of boats found locally and associated artefacts, photographs and charts. It specialises in the shallow draft "Flatner", a form of vessel once prevalent in the Bridgwater and adjacent coastal areas.[1]
