Why should I consider foreign registry beside my
home one?
The choice of flags listed on our web gives you opportunity to have your
boat registered CUSTOM
and TAX FREE.
There are some EU countries that offer TAX FREE registration for their
residents BUT ... once you
have entered official books your name shines as the yacht owner. It won't
cause much civil unrest if
kind of
luxury tax would be
implemented.
For your piece of mind register your yacht somewhere else.
Which flag to choose?
Depending on your place of residence, nationality and intended use of the
yacht the flag selection
should be considered. Here, we could give you free advise.
Example: Slovenian resident purchased his boat TAX FREE and had it
registered in Delaware.
The principal place of use is Croatian part of Adriatic but he could use it
elsewhere except Slovenian
waters. Still we have encountered a lot of Slovenian yacht owners that have
paid custom duty and VAT.
If
they were informed, instead of feeding local bureaucrats, they would have
bigger yachts.
What about I should be warned?
Be
extra cautious when selecting an agent. There are unscrupulous operators
that sell instant
boat registrations of nonexistent jurisdictions (British Honduras), non
valid American and Austrian
yacht clubs or unauthorized Guinea Bissau licenses.
There is no such thing as instant registration and if you get offer like
this you better get rid off
this "nice fellow".
The fastest way we could provide your preliminary or permanent registration
fax copy is three
working days. The hard copy could be handed over to you within 8-12 days.
What documents I need to get a new registration?
New yachts:
-
American manufacturers issue Manufacturer's Statement of Origin. The rest
call it Builder's
Certificate. If there is no name
of the owner stated on it then notarized Bill of Sale is needed.
-
Application form.
Used yachts:
-
Certificate of Deletion from previous registry is crucial document. This
document tells that the
yacht is free of any liens and
encumbrances. Do not pay out seller before getting one. If you
have done so without getting the
document then you are in seller's mercy.
-
Bill of Sale notarized.
-
Application form.
What Bill of Sale must contain?
Proper Bill of Sale must contain:
-
boat's Hull Identification Number – HIN (12 digits and letters)
- boat's description (length)
-
statements "has been sold to" and "has been paid to".
-
notarized seller's signature
For acceptable template you could use our proven
sample.

Could you help me buying/selling my boat?

available yachts
or offer your yacht to
our customers inner circle.
Are you taking care about my renewals?
If
you choose so, we'll send you a notification letter before expiration date
on your registration.
You do not owe us nothing, it's up to you whether you want to renew or not.
I
sold my boat could you handle the documents?
It's your duty to produce a valid Bill of Sale and get it notarized.
We
could obtain the Certificate of Deletion and transfer the registration onto
a new owner.

most cases we could find a workable solution. Contact us if you have
any need.
