Isle of Man Yacht Registration

Yachts have been registered in the Isle of Man for many years but more recently, yacht owners and operators have further recognised the Island as an economic and efficient centre for ownership and, in some cases, the management of the yachts registered in the Isle of Man or elsewhere.

Why register your yacht?

The British flag (the Red Ensign) is the most prestigious nautical symbol in the world and the benefits of British yacht ownership can be made available to all yacht owners through the formation of an offshore company. This highly personalised service has many advantages including the sale of the yacht through a share transfer and limited liability. The services Oakfield Maritime Limited provides are completely confidential and offshore company ownership means that the ownership details will not be a matter of public record.

Yacht Registration

Oakfield Maritime Limited provides British yacht registration services for British individuals and companies in their own name, as well as offshore company formation services for foreign owners in order to benefit from the advantages of British registered yachts. For ownership of an offshore company, nominee shareholders sign Declarations of Trust in favour of the Beneficial Owner. A Letter of Authority is issued giving the Beneficial Owner unrestricted use of the yacht. The process is easy and effective when handled by Oakfield Maritime Limited and allows you to enjoy your yacht while Oakfield Maritime Limited looks after your interests.

Offshore Companies

The Oakfield Group has enormous experience and expertise in the formation of offshore companies. The Isle of Man is a respected regulatory environment overseen by the Isle of Man Financial Supervision Commission, offering a highly professional Trust and Corporate environment. The Oakfield Group's network of professionals supports a large and growing international client base. The Group deals effectively and confidentially with a wide range of issues, including asset protection, estate planning, tax management strategies and comprehensive legal and administrative support.
