Yacht Registration implies granting her the right to sail under the flag of any state (i.e. determination of the nationality of the yacht), as well as registration of ownership and other procedures. Registration means that the government of the state whose flag this yacht will fly has checked the legal aspects of the acquisition and the technical condition of the yacht, made sure that they fully comply with its national and international requirements and testify to this before all interested parties.

Any state, even a landlocked state, has the right to grant ships the right to sail under its own flag. State ship registers are "national" (or "closed"), registering ships that belong only to residents - individuals or legal entities (for example, the State Ship Register of Ukraine), as well as "open", giving the right to register a ship (yacht) to everyone (for example, Panama, Belize, British Virgin Islands, etc.).

Generally, the shipowner receives two documents – Certificate of Registry (Patent), which combines the registration of ownership and the granting of the right to sail under the flag of a given state and a Ship Radio Station License.

Flag choice for registration is one of the tasks of the ship owner and depends on many factors: financial - from the cost of registration and re-registration of the yacht to the new owner, to the amount of tax on the salaries of the yacht's personnel; operating rooms - the need for the presence of the yacht at registration, as well as the need to undergo all kinds of checks provided by law; international legal - participation of the state of registration in all kinds of bilateral and multilateral treaties for the avoidance of double taxation, for the provision of favorable treatment in sea transport, etc.

We will help you with the choice of the flag, provide fast and high-quality registration of your yacht, as well as provide services for maintaining registration throughout the entire period of the yacht's stay in the Registry of your choice. When registering, we not only provide for the procedure itself, but also provide ongoing advice on various issues (choice of jurisdiction, registration procedure, further annual renewal, etc.).

The procedure for registering a yacht in a foreign jurisdiction consists of the following main stages:

  • Preliminary consultation and coordination of key issues
  • Preparation and submission of documents
  • Registration of the yacht with the subsequent issuance of the corresponding registration certificates
