Want to Donate a Boat?

The Academy is qualified by the IRS as a charitable organization. Donated items are either (1) kept to improve and/or use, or (2) sold - a determination made at the start of the donation process. Generally speaking, if we accepts your boat for "Material Improvement" or "Significant Intervening Use," you qualify to receive a tax deduction equal to the lesser of its “cost basis” or “current market value,” as determined by the qualified marine surveyor you retain. If we accept your boat to sell, you qualify for a deduction equal to the amount for which it is sold.
