Receive specialized support from a member of the yacht team.

The RMI allows, through its national legislation and the RMI Yacht Code, the registration of private yachts, private yachts limited charter, commercial yachts, and passenger yachts. It also allows for RMI flagged private yachts to charter in French and Monégasque waters without the need for commercial registration by requesting a Temporary Certificate of Registry for Yacht Engaged in Trade.

Yacht owners can choose the home port of either Bikini or Jaluit. Two yachts may share a common name as long as they are registered in different home ports.

Like commercial vessels, ownership of yachts registered in the RMI must be through an RMI corporation, limited or general partnership, limited liability company, or a qualified foreign maritime entity.

ST Kitts

We register all types of boats in all main jurisdictions

We are the market leader in boat registrations around the world. Our clients want to register boats, jet ski’s or mega yachts. Some clients have an easy choice while others have a complex question as they employ crew or use there vessel for commercial activities. We can help you figure out where the best jurisdiction would be to register your yacht as there are many choices.

Where to register your boat? When you purchase a motor or sailing vessel it is very important to decide on the best suitable country to register your yacht. There are many different countries that offer a favorable registration but each of them has pros and cons. It is important that you understand these before deciding on where to register. When you decide on a country to be registered, the vessel is subject to the laws of the country of registration. It is therefore important that the boat registration country you have registered in, offers the conveniences that you need.

The first thing to understand is that under which flag you sail has nothing to do with your nationality! Most of the registrations we offer are available to any nationality. In some cases we need to put the ownership of your vessel in a new dormant company (that you own) in order to comply with the rules but this is only an advantage, as these companies also offer you protection from liability and have several other advantages.

Private use versus commercial use It is also important to know that some countries have an easy registration for private use vessels but not for commercial vessels. We can currently register your boat for commercial use in Poland, Langkawi, Gibraltar, Panama, Cayman Islands, the United Kingdom, British Virgen Islands (BVI) or Malta.

VAT registration on boats None of the jurisdictions that we register boats in require a VAT payment proof. Clients who wish to pay VAT in the EU can do so thru us. We have contacts with EU tax departments and can handle this for you.

We register boats in many jurisdictions Let us register your boat in the country that is best suited for your vessel. We currently offer registrations in Poland, Holland, Cayman Islands, British Virgen Islands (BVI), Langkawi, Panama, Gibraltar, Belgium, Delaware, Malta, and the United Kingdom. Have a look at our detailed guide to get an idea which country is best for you or if you need advice, contact us by phone, WhatsApp, real time chat or email.

MMSI Radio License – for VHF, AIS, radar and EPIRB As you are probably aware, it is mandatory by law to have a MMSI - radio license onboard your vessel at all times.

It is mandatory by law to have an MMSI license onboard your vessel at all times, so we highly recommend our clients to get this while applying for your boat ownership document. Having an MMSI license onboard avoids problems when you are checked by local authorities.

Every country has different requirements to receive an MMSI radio license so please choose your flag country and check the details for that specific country on the country page.

Boat Registration Guide - Where To Register You Boat

The first thing to understand is that under which flag you sail has nothing to do with your nationality! Most registrations we offer are available to any nationality. In some cases, we need to put the ownership of your vessel in a new dormant company (that you own) in order to comply with the rules but this is only an advantage, as this company ownership also offers you liability protection as well as other advantages.

The Polish flag is probably our best value flag as the registration process is simple, inexpensive & fast. There are no surveys to be done, if your vessel is under 24 meters. The best part is; you get the registration for life, so no more renewals! Since Poland is a full European Union member, this flag document is accepted anywhere in the world and comes in 4 languages. We can get your provisional registration in 2 days and it is valid immediately. We take care of the whole process for you and translate all your current boat papers into Polish, as part of our fee.

It is for this reason, we are letting you know that we still have plenty of other options to register your vessel and some are even easier and less expensive than the Delaware registration. We would like to recommend Poland, Langkawi, San Marino and the United Kingdom as an alternative for the Delaware registration. We can register your vessel in any of these jurisdictions and if you need to register a commercial vessel we can also register in Panama, Malta, BVI and the Cayman Islands. The first thing to understand is that under which flag you sail has nothing to do with your nationality! All the registrations we offer are available to any nationality.

What are the differences between private yacht and commercial use of yacht?

While some nations offer straightforward registration for private use, complexities may arise for commercial vessels.

What are the types of Yacht Registration?

There are basically three types of yacht registration for individuals and business owners. The following are the types of yacht registration:

Territorial registries

  • This method of yacht registration involves enrolling the vessel under territorial registries, which are accessible across various countries. However, these registries enforce rigorous regulations and ownership standards, limiting eligibility solely to citizens and companies incorporated within the registering nation.
  • This ensures compliance with local laws and maintains the integrity of the registration process, safeguarding the interests of both yacht owners and the jurisdiction in which the vessel is registered.

Open registries

  • An open registry is a global service catering to the international shipping sector, allowing vessels to be registered in countries beyond their own. While numerous countries offer open registries for yacht registration, they present challenges like elevated tax rates and stringent requirements, posing obstacles for individuals and businesses alike.
  • Consequently, investors and entrepreneurs often favor Offshore Registries due to their advantageous features. These registries offer favorable conditions, including lower tax burdens and simplified procedures, making them a preferred choice for yacht registration among discerning stakeholders in the maritime industry.

Offshore or international registries

  • International Registries, commonly referred to as offshore registries, are established by traditional registries to facilitate the transfer of vessels from their original jurisdictions to offshore locations, offering several benefits.
  • These specialized registries are strategically designed to minimize operational expenses and entice foreign investments to the offshore jurisdiction. By providing favorable conditions and incentives, such as reduced administrative burdens and tax advantages, offshore registries aim to attract vessel owners and promote economic growth within their respective jurisdictions.

Step 1: Register a company

  • As an initial step, Tetra Consultants offers comprehensive assistance in registering your company in a specific jurisdiction of your choice, tailored to your yacht registration needs. For instance, you can opt to register company in Singapore , where our expert team ensures swift registration within just 1 to 2 business days .
  • By establishing your company in Singapore, you gain access to a renowned global business hub with a robust legal framework and favorable tax environment. Our streamlined registration process eliminates bureaucratic hurdles, allowing you to focus on preparing for your yacht’s operations with confidence.
  • Whether you choose Singapore or any other jurisdiction, Tetra Consultants guarantees a seamless and efficient company registration experience through our offshore company incorporation , laying the foundation for a successful yacht registration journey.

Step 2: Application submission

  • Tetra Consultants will initially proceed with facilitating the submission of an application for yacht registration, acting on behalf of the owner or an authorized representative. We will ensure the provision of qualification proof required for yacht ownership. Additionally, we will handle the completion of all necessary documentation, including but not limited to the International Tonnage Certificate and Declaration of Ownership. Along with the application submission for yacht registration we can also facilitate offshore company incorporation which might be a need in some jurisdictions.

Step 3: Proceed for provisional registration

  • For provisional registrations, Tetra Consultants can proceed with facilitating the provisional registration of the yacht, which involves the initial registration for a specified period while finalizing all necessary documentation. We will handle the payment of initial registration fees and any applicable taxes on behalf of our clients.

Step 4: Comply with documents required

  • Tetra Consultants can proceed with gathering the required documentation for yacht registration, ensuring compliance with relevant regulations. The documentation may include a bill of sale or builder’s certificate demonstrating previous ownership, along with a copy of the last registry certificate if applicable. Additionally, we will facilitate obtaining a Certificate of Survey and International Tonnage Certificate, adhering to legal requirements. It is important to note that specific operational certificates may also be necessary, and the exact documents required may vary depending on the chosen jurisdiction.

Step 5: Proceed for final registration

  • Tetra Consultants can proceed with overseeing the final registration process for the yacht, ensuring all original documents are presented within the specified timeframe to obtain Permanent Registration. Additionally, we will handle the completion of any additional forms required for radio licensing or other permits. It is worth noting that alongside yacht registration, we also facilitate the acquisition of offshore financial licenses for our clients.

Step 6: Compliance and reporting

  • Further, Tetra Consultants can proceed with ensuring our clients’ compliance with reporting requirements to relevant authorities, meticulously following specific regulations for cruising permits where applicable. We take care of the necessary steps to meet all regulatory obligations and ensure smooth sailing for our clients.

Step 7: Renewal

  • Tetra Consultants can proceed with managing the renewal process for yacht registration, which typically occurs annually, although renewal periods may vary depending on the jurisdiction. We ensure timely renewal to maintain compliance with applicable regulations.

Step 8: Open a bank account

  • Following the successful completion of your yacht registration, the next step is to initiate the opening of a business bank account. Our corporate bank account opening service streamlines this process, ensuring the establishment of your bank account within 4 weeks . With our assistance, you can efficiently move from registering your yacht to securing vital financial infrastructure, facilitating a seamless transition for your maritime endeavors.

  • Proof of qualification to own a Yacht
  • In the case of non-resident owners, appointment of a resident agent

  • Where applicable, cancellation of registry certificate issued by the Administration where the yacht was last documented.
  • Copy CE Marking Certificate.

Documents required for corporate shareholder:

  • Company ownership declaration
  • Memorandum of Association
  • Articles of Association
  • Latest financial statements

Documents required for individual beneficial owners, directors and shareholders:

  • Notarized copies of ID or passport
  • Sworn translations of all required documents into the Polish language.
  • Proof of income

What is the cost of Yacht Registration?

  • Tetra Consultants provides yacht registrations in various countries, including Poland, Cayman Islands, BVI, Singapore, and Seychelles. The costs for yacht registration vary depending on the chosen jurisdiction. Rest assured, all communicated prices encompass every expense, including fees, taxes, shipping, and consultation. Transparency is paramount to us, ensuring there are no hidden costs or unexpected charges. With Tetra Consultants, clients can confidently navigate the yacht registration process, knowing they have a clear understanding of all associated expenses from the outset.

What does flag indicate on the yacht?

  • The majority of registrations we facilitate are accessible to individuals of any nationality. Occasionally, to adhere to regulations, we may transfer vessel ownership to a newly established dormant company under your ownership. This arrangement not only ensures compliance but also provides invaluable protection from liability and offers various other benefits. Tetra Consultants recognizes the significance of such measures in safeguarding your interests and ensures seamless incorporation of these strategies into your yacht registration process, maximizing both legal compliance and asset protection.
  • Yachts registered under countries on the Paris Memorandum of Understanding’s black or gray list face heightened scrutiny in inspections, as the flag state is responsible for enforcement. Consequently, a significant portion of yachts opt for registration in British Overseas Territories, known as the ‘Red Ensign Group,’ including Bermuda, Gibraltar, and the Isle of Man. These jurisdictions boast safety regulations compliant with EU standards and offer favorable tax structures compared to the UK. Notably, several territories, such as the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, the Cayman Islands, and Bermuda, levy a 0% company tax rate. Non-EU flag registration is advantageous for EU residents, as it allows for temporary tax-free status for 18 months, facilitating leisurely stays in EU waters.

Looking for Yacht Registration?

  • By offering comprehensive support for yacht registration, Tetra Consultants guides clients through every step of the process with expertise and efficiency. Along with the yacht registration we offer comprehensive support with various business services which are also helpful for yacht registration, which includes legal drafting of necessary documents. Our dedication extends beyond registration, encompassing ongoing compliance, reporting, and renewal assistance. With Tetra Consultants, clients can navigate the complexities of yacht registration confidently, knowing that their interests are meticulously managed and safeguarded.
  • Contact us to know more about yacht registrations in various jurisdictions and our team will revert back in 24 hours.

Why consider offshore registration for a yacht?

  • Offshore registration offers advantages such as reduced taxes and fees, financial perks, simplified crew hiring, smoother port clearances, and enhanced privacy. However, setting up a legal entity in the registration country may pose challenges for small, private pleasure craft owners.

What criteria define a favorable flagging country for a vessel?

  • Factors like minimal taxes and fees, uncomplicated registration procedures, financial incentives, global recognition, and lenient regulations contribute to a country’s suitability for vessel flagging. The choice ultimately depends on individual preferences and requirements.

Is a foreign registry appropriate for all yacht owners?

  • Foreign registry might not suit all yacht owners, particularly individuals operating small, private pleasure crafts. It’s more beneficial for those involved in commercial activities with their vessels due to advantages in taxation, financial gains, and operational flexibility. Consulting professionals such as accountants and attorneys is advisable to assess suitability based on unique circumstances.

What advantages come with offshore yacht registration?

  • Offshore registration presents benefits like lower taxes and fees, financial advantages, simplified crew recruitment, smoother port operations, and heightened privacy. However, complexities may arise for private pleasure craft owners navigating legal entity set up in the registration country.

Yacht Registration

Oceanskies specialises in the registration of yachts of all sizes and all types in high quality ‘yacht friendly’ jurisdictions such as the British & Maltese Registers of Ships.

We believe that our success results from understanding that the circumstances of every yacht owner and every yacht are unique.

Choice of registry is one of the most important decisions that a yacht owner has to make.

The chosen port of registry will determine the nationality of the vessel and the laws and regulations that will apply to its operation.

The flag flown and the port of registry inscribed on the stern of the vessel provides the vessel with an identity – a strong well-founded flag will suggest a lot about the owner and the standards to which the vessel is operated.

We endeavour to provide clear advice to owners on the best flag to choose based on their individual circumstances and provide fully inclusive fixed fee yacht registration packages to relieve yacht owners of the administrative burden of the registration process.

There are many flags internationally promoting themselves as the ‘go to’ flag of choice, but we’re here to provide an unbiased opinion on the best flag for you taking into account many parameters including; navigational rights, VAT and US cruising permit eligibility.

We work for all of the yacht friendly flag states and through our experience can outline why one may suit your requirements better than another.

To help simplify the choice process we have created the following yacht registry selector, which you can complete in order to receive further information on our recommended flag for your yacht.

It also specialises in the provision of ownership structures, VAT and tax planning, yacht importation, safety and technical management, marine insurance and finance, crew administration and payroll, accounting and banking, foreign exchange and international payments.

As the maritime division of the Sovereign Group, SMS combines the expertise of a dedicated team focused on meeting the needs of yacht owners with Sovereign’s core capability in respect of corporate ownership and tax planning. It also gives SMS access to the group’s global office network, which includes Cyprus, Dubai, Hong Kong, the Isle of Man, Malta, London and Singapore.

YACHT REGISTRATION

Registering a newly acquired yacht is often one of the last steps that a yacht owner needs to complete before the vessel can actually be sailed and enjoyed. But that does not mean it is simply an administrative procedure. In fact it is one of an owner’s most important decisions because registering a yacht is like obtaining a passport. You are effectively choosing the yacht’s nationality – with all the benefits and obligations that this can entail.

A yacht owner will want a flag that is competitive, accessible, and one that enjoys a good reputation around the world. The choice of flag should be guided by the following factors:

  • Internationally recognised legal system and constructive legislation
  • Effective administrative framework and good functionality
  • Signatory to key international rules and conventions
  • Tax efficient in respect of VAT and other taxes
  • Political stability and diplomatic clout
  • Access to full suite of yacht insurance products

The Red Ensign Group (REG) is a group of British Shipping Registers that is synonymous with ‘quality shipping’  by maintaining high technical, social, and administrative standards. The most popular REG jurisdictions are the UK, Gibraltar, the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda, the Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey.

Beyond the REG, other flag states, notably Malta, Cyprus and the Marshall Islands, have been very successful in providing yacht registration to yacht owners and yacht management companies. The yacht registration process will vary according to the flag selected, but SMS has yacht registration expertise across multiple jurisdictions.

For a yacht broker or an owner who has just taken delivery of a yacht that has to make passage on completion of the sale, it is possible to obtain a provisional registration to cover the vessel for navigation immediately after purchase.

CORPORATE OWNERSHIP AND VAT

Corporate ownership offers many advantages to a yacht owner. Yachts are necessarily movable assets and this involves a significant element of potential risk. The most substantial benefits offered by corporate ownership are:

  • ‘Limited Liability’ – this allows the beneficial owner to protect their other personal assets should the vessel be involved in an accident and subject to a claim against it.
  • National yacht registries will generally only accept yachts that belong to their own citizens or a wider economic territory of which they are part. If a yacht is owned through a company that is registered in an appropriate jurisdiction, it can be registered in virtually any flag state of the owner’s choosing.
  • A corporate structure can further provide opportunities for legitimate tax mitigation, as well as simplifying estate and succession planning.
  • Indirect ownership through a company will avoid the need for the ultimate owner to enter into agreements and contracts directly when negotiating the purchase or construction of a vessel, employing crew and generally contracting with third parties.

Value Added Tax (VAT) is chargeable on boats purchased and owned by residents of the EU VAT Zone. VAT is also chargeable on vessels, irrespective of ownership, that spend more than six months in any calendar year cruising in EU VAT Zone waters.

Legitimate mitigation of potential VAT liabilities is generally available for both pleasure and commercial yachts, particularly if the yacht is purchased through a corporate structure. The options will depend on a comprehensive assessment of a yacht’s ownership structure, operational requirements and the personal financial circumstances of the owner.

FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT

Yachts, especially superyachts, are among the most luxurious and expensive assets in the world but they operate in an environment that is full of natural and manmade hazards, from extreme weather events to collision and piracy.

SMS has the expertise and experience to keep your yacht running smoothly, making ownership as straightforward as possible. We work closely with owners and skippers to assess the operation of each yacht and can then set up appropriate systems to handle all the financial complexities of your yacht’s operation while in homeport or at sea, including banking, budgeting, bookkeeping, accounting and reporting.

As part of the Sovereign Group, we also have access to expertise on all aspects of corporate administration and taxation worldwide, as well as efficient tax planning options for yacht owners.

YACHT INSURANCE

There is no standard policy when it comes to yacht insurance. The required cover will vary on a case-by-case basis but should generally be tailored to protect everything from the vessel itself, to the guests, crew and third parties, equipment and tenders, as well as the contents and furnishings on board. Through Sovereign Insurance Services, SMS can provide clients with multiple coverage options to ensure the yacht has the best possible insurance package.

CREW ADMINISTRATION AND PAYROLL

Given their peripatetic lifestyle, many crew members have difficulty in establishing a jurisdiction that will provide the protection and social benefits that would be standard for a typical employee living permanently in one country.

Sovereign is a market leader in the provision of retirement planning and offers a range of services that includes payroll processing, access to healthcare, bespoke banking products and saving plans, as well as residency programmes.

SAFETY AND TECHNICAL MANAGEMENT

Whether a yacht is used privately or commercially, a number of codes and conventions apply to any vessel navigating in international waters. Safety on board, for both passengers and crew, is also of paramount importance.

SMS works closely with a team of independent surveyors and can assist owners to prevent any undesirable situations at sea and to ensure the vessel is fully compliant when approaching any port. Our services can address any or all of the following: International Management Code (ISM), International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS), Designated Person Ashore (DPA), emergency responses, International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL), Maritime Labour Convention (MLC), commercial certifications, classification and statutory surveys and Port State Control (PSC) audits.

The information provided in this document does not constitute advice to clients or any third party and no responsibility will be accepted for any loss occasioned directly or indirectly as a result of persons acting, or refraining from acting, wholly or partially in reliance upon it other than for its intended purpose.

About Our Vessel Documentation Search

How to conduct a vessel documentation search lookup.

Our Coast Guard vessel database search is designed as a public resource for anyone looking to view the documentation aspects of a particular vessel... and it's completely free. This service will provide readers with a basic idea of what the National Vessel Documentation Center has on file with regard to a vessel's status. The information serves as a starting point for more in-depth research with respect to ownership, mortgages, and lien claims. In conducting a query, be sure you have selected the appropriate type of search. Matching criteria may then be entered in either upper or lower case. Responses will accordingly correspond with the exact term or phrase you have stated. These will be shown in a list box directly below the submit button. It may take several moments to complete the process if the search involves a large number of records. Simply click the reset button if you wish to engage in a fresh search. Although generally current, the data provided here is subject to periodic updates. It is also subject to errors or omissions and should not be relied upon without further investigation. Certain archived files which have been inactive over the past several decades may also be unavailable. Information of this nature is however, available by special order. Data beyond what is returned from our search lookup resource can be obtained directly from the documentation center. This includes ownership information, preferred mortgage filings, lien claim notices, and supplemental data. Copies of these and all other recordings or submissions can be ordered by using our special "Vessel Record Request Form". Keep in mind when implementing any kind of vessel documentation research, that it may extend beyond just the federal status. Recordings on the state level and perhaps even foreign registries may also affect the vessel's ownership and lien standings. The Coast Guard makes it very clear that vessel documentation is not conclusive evidence of ownership with respect to any hidden claims or filing digressions. You may also wish to visit our premier BoatScope database which offers numerous search options in addition to this preliminary resource. These include lookups by the builder's name or code, hailing port, vessel dimensions, build year, vessel type, and usages just to name a few. The service also provides historical information on auctioned, stolen, damaged, and recalled boats.

How much is the convenience fee for 2 AZ travel drivers licenses?

The convenience fee for two travel driver licenses is $50, that is in addition to the MVD fee of $25 each. The total would be $100 for both.

Wow. Need a license or registration? Come here! Completely different experience than the government-run DMV service centers. People were friendly and helpful. They showed us our license picture to make sure we liked it. Heads up - for a travelers license you need to bring a few bits of official ID such as a passport and two bills. Really appreciated the people working here - they welcomed us in and were pretty efficient - one lady took our picture so we would be ready to go to sign the official papers.

Shout to Liliana, she provided a great customer service experience. She was professional and attentive to my many questions that I asked. Especially being from out of the state she was able to inform me of some very important rules and regulations and other information that I should be aware of. The service was efficient, pleasant, and fast. Good job Liliana, thank you.

3rd party is always the way to go; shorter lines, faster service, but a little more in the way of cost.

Getting a new license at this location was an absolute breeze! The process was incredibly fast and efficient, and we were in and out within 30 minutes. Everyone we encountered was incredibly helpful and friendly, providing us with all the information we needed. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to get a new license and other DMV needs, and we will definitely be returning in the future.

This place is amazing. Coming from out of state, they made every transaction so easy and fast. No hassles, no problems. I would recommend 1000%. I got my car registered, title transferred, and True ID. Prices are reasonable but anything is worth the positive experience! The staff is very friendly and helpful. Next time you need a DMV service, come here!

I would recommend this place, the service was fast and easy. Big shout out to Rosa who answered all of our questions and made the experience very pleasant. Since I found "1 Stop" I will no longer go to any MVD location.

Very quick and easy process to transfer a title and everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Photo of Kelly T.

When I went, it was not very busy and one lady greeted me right away. It is evident that some of the workers here are not trained properly in terms of what documents are needed for a name change on a driver's license. On the ADOT website it said all I needed was my SSN card and my marriage certificate/license to which I provided both of those and she said she didn't need those and that I need to go through the court? Then I call the court to confirm whether or not this is true and they said that's not correct and that all I needed was those two things.
