How can I get rid of a junk boat for free in Texas?

Submit your vessel for a free evaluation with Boats for Charity. If your boat has salvage or auction demand (outboard, trailer, or hardware), our verified buyers coordinate and pay for pickup at zero expense to you.

Do I need a Texas title for both the boat and trailer?

In Texas, the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) titles motorized boats and outboard motors, while the TxDMV titles trailers. We guide you through signing both titles over cleanly.

Do I receive a tax deduction for donating a junk boat in Texas?

Yes. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, Boats for Charity provides IRS Form 1098-C documentation showing the gross auction proceeds for your federal tax return.
