Over 20 Years Helping Boat Owners Nationwide
HOW THE PROCESS WORKS
Boat ownership is quickly transferred - donors supply basic boat condition and ownership documents to facilitate seamless transfer. HIN numbers, year, make, and model are normally included on transfer documents!
We will answer title and registration questions and can provide notary services. We will also assist with securing lost documents for inheritance vessels and new purchases!
Pickups are fast and free. The exact details depend on each situation. We help you walk it through.
Upon transfer of the vessel, donor receives an IRS 1098c. This document is mailed and emailed. For high-valued boats, an IRS 8283 form is needed.
COMMON SITUATIONS WE HELP WITH
Assistance is available to help you replace missing documents, allowing us to facilitate ownership transfers. Duplicates come from local state agencies with posted addresses.
A proper death certificate and executor paperwork can often transfer ownership once the owner has passed away. We have assisted with hundreds of such transfers.
Boat sitting in a marina or storage yard? Donors can save anywhere between $3,000 and $5,000 dollars on expenses on their unused boats. We'll coordinate pickup right from where it sits. Boat Angel performs this service nationwide.
Doesn't run anymore? Engine seized or outdrive broken - it doesn't matter. We accept boats in various conditions. Contact us to see if your boat qualifies for a free boat pickup.
We're experienced with Coast Guard documentation and can handle the transfer for you. We handle the USCG 1340 forms needed for transfer and will submit the CG-7043 forms that will record the transfer when boat is picked up.
Many jet skis and larger boats do not have trailers. They are helpful but not essential. They do help streamline the pickup. The new owner is responsible for hiring or furnishing their own trailer or boat moving company.
TESTIMONIALS
WHERE YOUR DONATION GOES
Boat Angel donations have been instrumental in providing substantial funding for countless international preschool and grade school aged children in the poorest countries of the world. The areas we have reached include Mozambique, Sudan, Bulgaria, Ethiopia, Mexico, Uganda, Kenya, Philippines and India. We have generously funded educational pursuits, school feeding programs, printing of education materials and provides illustrated materials for US daycare centers. This was all accomplished by the sale of thousands of boats, jet skis, trailers and yachts. We are thankful to our generous donors.
Boat Angel's literacy program has impacted hundreds of thousands of inmates in youth, state and federal prisons. By converting money received from the sale of boat donations to publishing we have enabled the production of thousands of pieces of religious and motivational materials which have been sent post paid free of charge to prison chaplains and prison libraries in every state of the Union. The proceeds from boat donations have funded these programs and international university programs as well.
Boat Angel has recently provided a birthing clinic where pregnant women may come for medicine and professional clinical child birthing services. Every week children are born with the mothers travelling hundreds of miles to seek out services. They receive childbirth education, formula, as well as much love and kindness. The The Iris Pemba Maternity Ward is dedicated to Barb's Babies. Thousands are helped yearly.
Global food security is a pressing challenge, with nearly one in ten people grappling with malnutrition. In response to this crisis, we have initiated and supported multiple water projects to improve access to this vital resource. Recently, we've partnered on a venture to construct community bread ovens. They are more than just a source of sustenance; they serve as the cornerstone for burgeoning micro-enterprises that deliver dual benefits: generating employment opportunities and providing essential nourishment.
Our colorful materials have been translated into seventy languages. We have seen them printed and used in many nations bringing joy to children.
