Donate a boat and help!We do accept almost ALL boat donations that are on trailers, particularly if the trailer has value on its own. We will accept almost any boat donation on a trailer that can be delivered by you to one of our, usually near, facilities. Sometimes we require that the boat and trailer be delivered to our nearest facility. (Usually close by). If we do pick up the boat there is no charge to you for the pick up. We do pick up almost all waverunners (wave runners) and jet skis even if they are not on a trailer. We do not accept boat donations that are not on trailers. Fill out the Boat Donation Form Now! |
