Since 2015, Breast Cancer Car Donations has helped fight breast cancer through your donated boats and watercraft. Our program makes it easy for you to give away that vessel that’s been sitting in your yard, dock, or marina for years. You’ll save money on ownership costs, and your donation will help local breast cancer patients get the support they need.
Here, you’ll learn how simple the process is, what types of boats we accept, and where we pick up boats across the country. We’ll also show you how your donation helps save lives, explain how tax deductions work, and even walk you through what to do if your boat doesn’t have a title. Donating your boat is one of the easiest ways to let go of the old and do something powerful for others – starting today.
Join the fight against breast cancer by donating your watercraft. It’s quick and easy, and you won’t have to deal with the paperwork. We take care of that for you. Your donation helps people in your community and supports an important cause.
Donating your boat is a smart way to let go of an old vessel. Boating costs can add up fast with insurance, dock fees, storage, fuel, and repairs. We help you skip all that and put your boat to good use.
Your boat donation helps real people and families. We auction it off and give the proceeds to our breast cancer nonprofit partners. You’re not just getting rid of a boat—you’re giving support where it’s needed most.
Not sure if we can take your boat? Reach out anyway. We look at each donation individually. Some boats may not qualify because of towing or costs, but we try to accept as many as we can. Let’s talk about your situation and see what’s possible.
After you call us or fill out the form with details about your boat, we determine whether we can accept your donation. Among the types of boats we accept are:
Breast Cancer Car Donations accepts boats and watercraft from all 50 states, including Washington, D.C. Just a few of our most popular areas for boat donations in the United States are listed below:
Donating your yacht, pontoon, or many types of watercraft is simple with us. We accept a wide range of vessels, but not all. Contact us to confirm if your specific boat qualifies.
Breast Cancer Car Donations accepts numerous vessels from popular brands such as Bayliner, Bertram, Boston Whaler, Chaparral, Grady-White, Lowe, Ranger, Sea Ray, Wellcraft and Yamaha, among others.
You can still donate your boat without a title. Just go to your local DMV or the office that issued the original title. Usually, you just fill out a short form and pay a small fee to get a new one.
If you can’t get a new title, you might still be able to donate. Paperwork like a bill of sale, insurance, or registration could be enough. Rules are different in each state, but our team will work with you to find the best way forward.
The value of your donated boat depends on several important factors, including its age, condition, size, model and overall market demand. After your boat is picked up, it is carefully evaluated to determine the best way to sell or process it. Some boats may be sold at auction, while others may be recycled or used for parts depending on their condition. The final sale price helps determine the tax documentation you receive for your records. Even older or non-running boats may still provide meaningful value and help support programs that assist people affected by breast cancer and related community services.
After your boat is picked up, it begins the next step in the donation process. The boat is transported to a facility where it can be inspected and prepared for sale, auction, recycling or salvage depending on its condition and potential value. Our team works to find the best option to maximize the support generated from your donation. Once the boat is sold, the proceeds help fund programs that support breast cancer education, screening, treatment assistance and patient care. You will also receive the necessary documentation for your tax records after the process is completed and the sale has been finalized.
Yes, in many cases you can donate a boat you inherited, even if the ownership paperwork still needs to be updated. Before the donation can move forward, you may need to provide documents that show you legally inherited the vessel or have the right to transfer ownership. If you are unsure about what paperwork is required, our team can help guide you through the process and explain your options. Donating an inherited boat can be a simple way to avoid ongoing storage or maintenance costs while turning an unused vessel into support for important breast cancer programs and community services.
When it’s time to donate your water vessel, we’re here to help. We work with nonprofits focused on fighting breast cancer. Your boat helps fund early detection, screenings and breast health services for people in need, but most importantly, hope and compassion. Your sailboat, yacht, or any watercraft can help save lives. Donating your old boat makes a real impact and supports the fight against breast cancer.
