The Manx Grand Prix Supporters Club has received a donation of more than £11,000 from Steam Packet Company passengers this year.
Crew on both the Manannan and Ben-my-Chree jointly collected the donations during the Isle of Man Festival of Motorcycling.
The money goes towards the cost of hiring rescue helicopters required for the MGP, as well as helping riders and families of those that are lost while competing.
