Donating a boat without a trailer is easier than you might think. If storing or moving your boat has become a hassle, donating it could be the stress-free solution you’ve been looking for. We’ll walk you through the simple steps, clarify what to expect, and show how your donation can make a real difference for veterans in need. You may even qualify for valuable tax benefits. If you’re ready to part ways with your boat and support a great cause, you’re in the right place.
Boating is a great hobby when you want to be out on the water. As you probably know, however, it can also come with a few hassles, such as towing, storage, and maintenance. If you do not have space at home, you might end up paying for a storage facility when you’re not using your boat. And without a trailer or transport option, transferring your personal watercraft, speedboat, or fishing boat can be difficult. To top it off, the cost of maintenance can be burdensome or simply not worth your boat’s value.
You might be ready to dispose of your vessel, which is where Veteran Car Donations comes in. We provide the easiest and fastest way to donate a boat without a trailer. On top of that, you will benefit by receiving a top tax deduction.
Just How Easy Is Our Boat Donation Process?
It’s simple! We have set up a quick and easy boat donation process where we take care of almost all procedures for your convenience.
After you contact us either by phone or filling out our online donation form telling us you want to donate a boat without a trailer, we will make an arrangement with our affiliate towing company in your area to pick up your boat for free at a time and place that works best for you. Next, you’ll receive a donation receipt that will release you from all liabilities from that point onward.
Your boat is then sold at auction. Within 30 days after the sale, we will mail you a 100 percent tax-deductible sales receipt, indicating your donated boat’s final selling price. This will serve as the basis of your tax deduction claim when you file your itemized federal tax return for the next tax-filing season.
How Does Your Boat Donation Help Our Veterans?
When you donate a boat without a trailer, we will make sure that the funds from your donation are used to provide benefits to our veterans. Our charity partners will use the money to provide the following services to needy veterans:
- Job training and mentoring programs
- Building mortgage free, specially adapted housing for those who were severely injured in combat
- Mental and physical health services for the veterans and their families
- Education scholarships and tutoring support
- Transitioning assistance for newly discharged troops
- Grief counseling sessions to the spouses and families of those who were killed in action
