Donate a Boat
Donating your boat to SALTS is win-win! The process is simple and free of hassle because we take care of all the details.
We can arrange for a third-party appraisal of the value of your vessel, and issue you a tax receipt for that amount.
We look after the costs of moorage, transportation, insurance and broker's fees where applicable.
Your tax deductible donation will support SALTS!

People give boats to S.A.L.T.S. for a variety of reasons:
To benefit young people
To receive a tax credit
To avoid the hassles of selling the boat
To avoid the ongoing cost of moorage
To avoid the time & cost of maintenance
What boats are suitable?
Sail or power, large or small, fiberglass, wood, or steel—we've accepted them all over the years. “Project boats” are generally not financially viable. As a rule of thumb, a boat must be capable of being moved by sea or road transport and its value must substantially exceed the costs of delivery. Boats in Eastern Canada, the United States or further away are handled by S.A.L.T.S. agents; consequently, the value of the boats needs to be higher as additional costs are involved.
