Float Orders

Please place float orders online by April 30. If you prefer to order by mail, use the Float Order Form.  Mail the completed form to the address indicated, or email a copy to: vicspain@rocketmail.com, before the April 30 deadline.

 We are selling Taylor Floats, Flip Floats, Tidal Tumblers, Rough Riders, and Bottom Cages, along with spat tubes, wire benders, and spat bags. Go to TOGA’s website for a description of each device. Also available at the sale are small and medium spat bags, crab pot line, float wire mesh, shell bag material, and of course TOGA GEAR - TOGA-logo hats and T-shirts, and new this year Pint Glasses! with no pre-ordering needed.

 
Purchasing a TOGA float requires current membership. Order up to three wire floats, plus two spat tubes, including build-your-own purchases. Unsure about your membership status? Check the address label on the back of this mailed newsletter. Or contact Vic Spain: vicspain@rocketmail.com

 
Payment is due when you pick up pre-ordered floats, by noon 5/23. If you cannot be at the sales event, ask us to hold your float and let us know when and where you can pick up your purchase. Otherwise, unclaimed and unreserved floats will be sold to walkup customers.

​
Need Baby Oysters (aka SPAT)?
During the Spring ‘26 Float Sale, vendors will sell triploid and diploid spat (as available.) Since demand for floats has been high, vendors will sell their own floats and equipment, along with spat. TOGA members and others who missed the order deadline can shop for different style floats, tools, and supplies not sold by TOGA.

 
The Annual Float Sale is one of TOGA’s primary fundraising activities as a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. All proceeds beyond material costs go to the TOGA/Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) Student Fellowship Endowment, and to other projects that foster oyster gardening and the health of the Bay.

 
Build-Your-Own Float Workshop: Saturday, May 9th Camp Kekoka, 9 am to noon: This year, TOGA members who volunteer for TOGA activities (including float building), may earn a $25 discount on up to three floats they build. Use the online or mail-in order forms to order BYO floats. Contact TOGA to volunteer: www.oystergardener.org/contact-us

 
If you’re volunteering to help TOGA with pre-sale float building, contact Jim Dall at jimd@togaboard.org. We are continuing to build in MAY, 2026, so contact us to be placed on our float-building notification list.
