How to donate your boat in Tampa
Tampa boat donation through Florida Hauling works in three steps. First, call or submit your boat info online, make, model, year, and your Tampa Bay area location. Second, Florida Hauling schedules free pickup at your marina slip, storage lot, or home in Hillsborough County. A licensed marine hauler comes to you. No charge whether the boat runs or not. Third, after the donated vessel sells at auction, Florida Hauling mails your tax receipt within 30 days.
Tampa Bay's boating culture means older powerboats, center consoles, and bay boats are common donations. Florida Hauling handles the Florida title transfer paperwork so you're released from ownership and any lingering liability for the vessel. Donation through Florida Hauling ends marina storage fees immediately. For donors in Davis Islands, Channelside, or along the Hillsborough River, pickup can often be scheduled within a few business days. The full Tampa boat donation process runs two to four weeks.
