Jet Ski Donations

Donate Your Watercraft and Save Lives!

Donate Now

Through Breast Cancer Car Donations, your jet ski donations help support programs that provide breast cancer patient care and research. Instead of letting your personal watercraft sit unused, you can give it a new purpose while enjoying nationwide pickup service and a tax-deductible receipt after the donation process is complete.

Why Donate a Jet Ski Instead of Selling or Scrapping?

Selling a Jet ski on your own often takes time and effort. You may need to create listings, answer calls, negotiate with buyers, and arrange meetings. Scrapping it usually brings little value and still leaves you responsible for transportation.

When you donate instead, the process is simple. We arrange free pickup and handle the paperwork to prepare your donated watercraft for sale. The proceeds help fund breast cancer prevention, patient support, treatment resources, and research. You clear valuable space while making a meaningful difference without the stress of a private sale.

Accepted Personal Watercraft and Jet Ski Eligibility

We accept many types of personal watercraft, including:

  • Sit-down models
  • Stand-up models
  • Personal watercraft scooters

Running, non-running, and cosmetically damaged watercraft may all qualify for donation. We also accept many trailers that accompany donated jet skis. Before contacting us, gather the make, model, and year of your watercraft so our team can quickly review your donation.

Accepted Makes and Models

Our program accepts many popular brands, including:

  • Sea-Doo
  • Yamaha WaveRunner
  • Kawasaki Jet Ski
  • Gibbs Quadski
  • Ski-Doo

If you own a custom-built, modified, or rare model, simply let us know. Some specialty watercraft require an additional review before pickup can be scheduled.

What Is the Jet Ski Donation Process?

The process is designed to be fast and easy.

First, complete our online donation form or call (866) 540-5069 with information about your personal watercraft. Once your donation is approved, we’ll schedule a convenient time for free pickup.

After pickup, your jet ski is sold through our trusted sales network. Once the sale is complete, we’ll send your IRS tax deductible receipt for your records.

Typical Timeline and What Donors Should Expect

Many pickups are scheduled within just a few business days, depending on your location and availability. After your donation is collected, we’ll keep you informed throughout the process. Once your donated vehicle sells, you’ll receive your IRS Form 1098-C when required, along with any other applicable tax documentation.

What to Know About Required Paperwork and Title Transfer

To help everything go smoothly, have the following ready before pickup:

  • Vehicle title
  • Government-issued ID
  • Keys, if available

If you’ve misplaced your title, contact us before scheduling pickup. In many cases, we’ll explain your available options. Some donations may also require a simple bill of sale depending on state requirements.

Many donations qualify for a federal tax deduction. After your jet ski sells, we’ll send the tax documents needed for your records. Depending on the sale results and IRS requirements, you may receive IRS Form 1098-C.

For example, if your donated watercraft sells within a lower price range, your deduction generally follows the applicable IRS rules for that sale. Higher sale values are documented accordingly on your tax paperwork. Because every tax situation is different, we recommend speaking with a qualified tax professional before filing your return.

How Your Jet Ski Helps Fight Breast Cancer

Every donation creates real support for people facing breast cancer. The proceeds from your donated jet ski help fund programs that improve access to screening, patient care, education, and research. One donor shared that donating an older WaveRunner was much easier than finding a buyer, and knowing the proceeds would help others made the decision even more rewarding. Every donation creates another opportunity to support individuals and families during a difficult time.
