Our Mission
Boats for Charity turns donated boats into resources that strengthen families and communities. We keep the process simple and transparent, then direct proceeds to programs that provide practical help—food, housing, education, and veteran support—so every vessel can carry hope a little farther.
Turning Boats into Blessings isn’t just our tagline; it’s our promise: clear communication, compliant paperwork, and compassionate impact with every donation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it cost me anything to donate?
No. Simply tell us about your boat. We’ll review it, answer your questions, and guide you through the donation process.
Will you take a boat that doesn’t run?
Often, yes. We review powerboats, sailboats, cruisers, yachts, PWCs, trailers, and non-running vessels case by case. When in doubt, send it in or call us.
Do I need to retitle to the nonprofit?
No. With our agency approach we sell as your authorized agent and donate all proceeds to the nonprofit, and help you obtain appropriate tax documentation (such as Form 1098‑C) where applicable.
What deduction do I get?
Under the quick‑sale model, your deduction generally equals the boat's gross sale price as reported on Form 1098‑C when applicable. Please consult a tax professional about your specific situation.
How fast is the process?
Often within a few days after intake, depending on documentation status and market interest. We keep you updated along the way.
What if I still have questions?
