Donate or Buy a Boat

Donating a boat to the Museum, a non-profit organization, can give
you a tax-deduction based on the value of your boat. An unwanted
or rarely used boat takes a lot of time and money to keep up-from
slip fees, hauling, to general maintenance. We receive donations
of vessels of all makes and sizes and we offer them for sale throughout
the year, as well as at our boat auction in the fall. Sales of these
boats support ongoing programs and annual operations.
We
make the process of donating a boat hassle-free. There is not a
lot of paperwork involved and our Boat Donations manager Lad Mills
can guide you through the process in a matter of minutes. When the
boat is sold, you will receive a tax benefit based on its value.
For more information on your potential tax deduction, you should
contact your tax advisor.
Beyond taking an unused or unwanted boat off of your hands, and
getting a nice tax deduction, donating your boat to the Museum allows
us to further our mission of preserving the heritage of the Chesapeake
Bay. Revenue generated by the sale of your boat goes into the operating
funds that allow us to hold school programs, youth Lighthouse Overnights,
and to restore historic vessels, such as Bay skipjacks. Your boat
makes a difference to us.
If
you are looking to buy a boat, this is the time and place to buy
it-and for a fraction of the cost of buying a new or used boat at
retail. We receive boats throughout the year, ranging in size and
function from sailing dinghies to cabin cruisers, from canoes to
crabbing skiffs.

sale, click here. If you are looking
for a particular type of boat and you don't see it, contact Lad
Millshe receives inquiries from people looking to donate boats
every day.
So if you are interested in donating or buying a boat, or if you
would like more information about the program, contact Boat Donations
Program Manager Lad Mills at at 410-745-2916 ext. 112, or by email
