Mathews Maritime Museum - Boat Donor Program

We have a number of boats for sale that have been given to the Foundation through its Boat Donor Program.

Begun in 2004, the boat donation program provides a means for individuals to support the Foundation. By donating a boat that you no longer want you can get a tax write-off. The amount of the write-off will depend on the amount a buyer pays when we sell it.

If you wish to donate a boat to our program, download the Boat Donor Form, complete it and mail it to the Foundation. We will then contact you to arrange transfer of the vessel.
