Donate a tender or dinghy

A new yacht often comes with a new tender, and the old one gets left on the dock. Rigid inflatables, jet tenders, and dinghies with their motors are straightforward donations.

What we look at

  • Make, length, and tube material
  • Tube condition and leaks
  • Outboard or jet engine and hours
  • Console, seating, and davit fittings
  • Registration or title, if any

Paperwork

Most states register tenders with a motor. If yours is registered or titled, it follows the same paperwork as a small boat, and we handle it.

Makes we see often

AB Inflatables, Zodiac, Highfield, Williams Jet Tenders, Walker Bay, Achilles, Novurania, Caribe, and Avon.

Not on the list? It is here to help you find your boat, not to limit what we take. We accept every make and model, listed or not, including rare builders and companies that closed decades ago. A donation depends on the boat's condition and paperwork, never the name on the hull, so enter yours on the form even if you do not see it here.

Questions

Do you take a tender without its motor?

Yes. Rigid inflatables in good shape have value on their own.

My tubes are Hypalon and older. Does that matter?

It matters less than leaks. Tell us the age and condition.

Can you take the tender and the yacht together?

Yes. It goes on the same donation.
