Turn a Vessel Into a Classroom

A donated boat becomes the platform every expedition runs from — and a tax-deductible contribution to a 501(c)(3).

Why a Boat

The Vessel Is the Programme

Every expedition needs a platform: something safe, insured and crewed that can carry young people and professional camera equipment into open water.

Boats, engines, trailers, dive equipment and marine electronics are all usable. So is a vessel that needs work — we will tell you honestly whether it helps.

Donations to My Clean Ocean are tax-deductible to the extent permitted by law. EIN 41-4167030.

03Deploy

Into service

The vessel joins the fleet that carries young people into the water — or is sold with proceeds funding programmes directly.
