As boating season ends, you might be considering whether it’s time to part ways with your pleasure craft. If your boat is at the end of its life, don’t abandon it—it’s illegal and harmful to the environment and your community’s safety.
When selling your vessel, transfer all ownership documents, including any licence or registration.
If it’s truly time to retire your boat, be responsible:
- Contact a boat recycling facility in your area
- Search for charities or businesses that may accept old boats
- Check with your local landfill about boat disposal
- Ask local retailers if they take boats in trade
As an owner, you’re responsible for ensuring your boat doesn’t become a hazard—even after you’re done using it.
