The Major Challenges that Confront Our Vets
Did you know that millions of veterans live in communities across the United States today? While some have been able to settle into civilian life after leaving the military, others have faced a much harder road. Many live with PTSD, depression, and injuries or disabilities that make finding work or even handling everyday tasks feel nearly impossible. Others are in hospitals, facing serious health problems.
Giving us a pleasure boat can help our nation’s heroes build the stable lives they deserve after their time in the military.

How Our Pleasure Boat Donations Program Works
Working with Veteran Car Donations to find a new purpose for your unwanted pleasure boat is a choice you can feel good about. You can leave the work to us instead of adding more tasks to your list. To see how it works, take a look at our simple donation process:
Call us at 877-594-5822 to let us know you want to give a pleasure boat to charity. You can also fill out our online donation form to get your donation started.
Choose a day for us to pick up your pleasure boat for free. Before we take your boat, we’ll give you a donation receipt that releases you from all liability for your boat from that point on.
We’ll sell your pleasure boat at auction. Within 30 days after your boat sells, we’ll mail you your sales receipt to use when claiming a tax deduction. You can use this record to claim a tax deduction when you file your next federal income tax return, as long as you itemize deductions and meet IRS rules.
What to Expect After You Donate Your Pleasure Boat
Once you share your boat’s details online or call 877-594-5822, our team can walk you through what comes next and help set a pickup date that works for you. You can ask which papers you’ll need to have ready before we pick up your pleasure boat.
When we pick up your boat, you’ll get a written record of your gift to keep with your files. Save your donation receipt and any transfer papers, and make sure the change in ownership is complete under your state’s rules.
After pickup, your donated boat may be sold at auction. We’ll give you the sale records that apply so you can check whether your gift qualifies for a tax deduction. The amount you can claim depends on IRS rules, and you may need to itemize deductions when you file your federal income tax return.
