I believe in charity organizations where fundraising directly reaches the Mission. I choose AMIkids because they are the gold standard in Yacht Donations. AMIkids takes care of their donors and their boats; but most importantly, they go out of their way to help vulnerable youth become productive members of society.

In every instance, AMIkids has handled my clients’ donations professionally and with the donors’ best interests in mind. I recommend AMIkids and nobody else. With AMIkids, my clients come away with the great feeling that they have helped make a difference in troubled kids’ lives!

AMIkids is the go-to team for yacht donations. Their program is designed to follow strict protocol to protect the donor following current IRS guidelines all the while utilizing the donated proceeds for youth educational schooling throughout the country.

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

We have been fortunate to have a relationship with AMIkids over several years and to be a part of what they accomplish so well. AMIkids motivates the community to give back and, in doing so, provides children and adults alike opportunities to share, learn, give, and grow. We look forward to a lasting involvement with AMIkids!

Get involved

We accept yacht donations, refit, and then lease or sell them. Our donors benefit from a safe and convenient alternative to selling or trading their yachts and obtain a reasonable tax benefit. Our lessees benefit from competitively priced and recently improved inventory with interest-free lease terms.

All proceeds help empower young lives to discover their true potential.
