Annapolis, Maryland Boat Donations

When you donate a boat to veterans, that single donation will open innumerable doors of opportunities for our former servicemen and women who are struggling to transition to civilian life here in Annapolis, Maryland. Owning a boat is awesome if you have lots of cash to burn for storage, maintenance, and repairs. When it starts to sputter as you accelerate or when your passengers feel the weird vibrations that worsen before the engine suddenly dies, then maybe you’d be better off donating your boat than have it burn massive holes in your pockets.

When you decide to take part in our Annapolis, Maryland donations program, you not only relieve yourself of the burden of keeping a high-maintenance seasonal vehicle, you also help relieve thousands of veterans within your community of the burden of poverty. Out of the city’s total population of 38,394 as of 2010, based on the United States Census Bureau report, 2,981 veterans call Annapolis, Maryland as their home. The question is, do they have safe and secure living quarters, decent jobs that could sustain their needs, and are they free from mental health problems as a result of their honorable service?

 

Common Issues That Veterans Face

After soldiers are discharged from active service overseas, the ideal scenario would be that they get back home to their families and experience a seamless transition process as they reintegrate themselves into society. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of our veterans are homeless and jobless, struggling with substance abuse or with untreated mental health problems such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or traumatic brain injury (TBI). There have been cases of veterans suffering from these conditions who committed suicide.

Your Donation Perks

You won’t regret donating to our program because you won’t be left out in the cold when it comes to benefits. All parties involved (your charity of choice, the veterans in Annapolis and yourself) in a single donation transaction would benefit from it! Let’s talk about the good stuff you’d get:

  • Eliminate the cost of boat ownership

We all know that if you let that unwanted old boat of yours float idly for the next few months in the marina, you’d continuously spend money on insurance, dock rentals, maintenance, repairs, registration, titling, cleaning, and other extras such as recreational paraphernalia, safety equipment, and trailers.

  • No need to go through the hassle of selling

Although the market for used boats is strong, if yours has gone through a lot of years of wear and tear, chances are, the offer that you’ve been hoping to get would be almost impossible to come by. We’re sure that you already know that your boat’s value depreciates by 20 percent after its first year. For every year thereafter, its value goes down by 5 to 10 percent yearly.

Even if your boat is relatively new and the chances of having it sold to a prospective buyer are much greater, you’d still go through the painful process of selling. You’d spend a large amount of time, effort and money on activities that include posting ads, negotiating with interested buyers or dealing with a broker. The good news is, you can do away with all this if you take part in our Annapolis, Maryland boat donation program.

  • Experience a stress-free donation process

Nothing could be more convenient than getting rid of a huge liability with just a mouse click or a phone call. You can finally say goodbye to a boat that you hardly even use.

  • Get a substantial tax deduction

Although you’d get to part ways with a boat that you treasured for a long time, you won’t be sorry for giving it away to charity because you’d enjoy a sizeable tax deduction for it.

  • Have your boat towed away for free!

Joining our donation program would entitle you to free pickup and towing services!

  • Drift boats
  • Fishing boats
