Your Boat Can Fund a Great Lakes Adventure
Donate your vessel or nautical gear to support Inland Seas Education Association. Your tax-deductible contribution directly funds hands-on science and stewardship programs for students across the Great Lakes.
What We Accept
- Vessels: Sailboats, powerboats, kayaks, and paddleboards.
- Gear: Life jackets, lines, paddles, anchors, and marine electronics.
How It Works
- Donate: Reach out to us with details about your boat or gear.
- Impact: We sell donated items to the public—often helping first-time boaters get on the water.
- Support: 100% of proceeds fund ISEA operations and ship maintenance.
Tax Benefit: Your donation is tax-deductible based on the final sale price. We strive to get the best market value for every vessel.
