Description

I donated my boat to Boats for Veterans in April 2025. Initial contact was by phone but after that everything was by text message, A gentleman came and picked up the boat and I was promised a statement for my taxes. Once the boat was picked up, Boats for Veterans contacted mt via text and said they would email me the tax receipt. I never received it and they stopped answering my texts. The site is listed as an IRS 501 (c) 3 for tax purposes. I have filed a complaint with the Consumer Affairs Dept and will also put in a complaint with the IRS. Please be wary of this organization!
