AMIkids Yacht Donation Program

6,000 Yachts, 50 years.

AMIkids Yacht Donation Program

The AMIkids Yacht Donation Program has been in operation since 1969, accepting over 6,000 boat donations to benefit the kids, families, and communities we serve.

Yacht Donation provides donors and yacht brokers with an alternative to the time and expense involved in selling or trading vessels.

Donors benefit of reduced holding costs and obtain a reasonable tax deduction from a safe, reputable charity. Yacht Brokers benefit from recently updated and competitively priced inventory.

The process is extremely convenient and all proceeds support the AMIkids mission to help youth develop into responsible and productive citizens. In doing so we help protect public safety and positively impact youth and their families by helping them separate a troubled past from a bright future. 

AMIkids has a team of full-time experts working on yacht donations all year round. Our team has decades of experience in the yachting industry and is committed to protecting our donors.

The AMIkids Yacht Donation Program has vessels available for lease or purchase, click here to view our existing inventory.

AMIkids is the go-to team for yacht donations.

"We always knew about AMIkids, but in 2019 I became involved in a transaction and took an interest to learn about the work various schools do. It struck me —supporting AMIkids is a way in which I can pay-back.

I got involved in helping kids in rough environments make better choices and get on a better route to success. I was happy to be invited to join the board of trustees and help contribute in the ways that I can."

— Neil Emmott, Partner at Superyacht Sales and Charter
