If you have a catamaran you no longer use, give it a new purpose by donating it to Veteran Car Donations. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, our mission is to help improve the lives of veterans and their families by turning donated vehicles and vessels into funding for important support programs. Instead of letting your catamaran sit unused or dealing with the challenges of selling it yourself, you can make a meaningful difference with one simple donation.
Why Do Boat Donations Matter to Veterans?
Your donated catamaran becomes much more than an unwanted boat. After it is sold, the proceeds help support programs that improve the lives of veterans, including many who are living with service-related disabilities. These services also strengthen local communities by helping veterans build stable, independent futures.
Your donated boat helps fund programs such as:
- Job training and employment assistance
- Mental health care and PTSD or TBI treatment
- Housing assistance and support for veterans experiencing homelessness
- Scholarships and educational assistance
What Are the Benefits for Donors?
Donating your catamaran benefits you as well as veterans. We offer free pickup, making it easy to remove your boat from its current location. We also provide complimentary towing, so you do not have to arrange transportation yourself.
By donating, you can eliminate ongoing storage, maintenance, insurance, and upkeep costs. After your catamaran has been sold, we’ll send you a tax deduction receipt for eligible donations to help with your tax records.
What Catamarans and Other Boats Do We Accept?
We accept many types of catamarans in a variety of conditions, including older models, recreational vessels, and many boats that no longer operate. We also accept sailboats, yachts, motorboats, and many other types of watercraft.
Some damaged boats may still qualify for donation and are reviewed on a case-by-case basis. If you would like to donate more than one vessel, simply contact our team and we’ll help coordinate the process.
