Yacht Registration In Depth | Yacht Registration FAQ's

As part of our boutique service, Oakfield Corporate Services Ltd. can assist with the formalities and other procedures involved with the registration of your yacht.

The sophisticated rules governing Ports of Registry and EU VAT means that an informed decision must be made when choosing a British Port of Registry, as each Port of Registry has different regulations in place, offering its own benefits, and in some instances, disadvantages.

The registration procedures for private yachts are straightforward:

1. A name is proposed for approval at the Port of Registry;
2. A Tonnage Measurement Survey needs to be carried out by a recognized classification society;
3. A Builder's Certificate in the case of a new yacht or a Bill of Sale will be required.

Advantages in having a British Registered Yacht include the international recognition, prestige as well as the protection afforded to British registered yachts when seeking assistance from any British Embassy or Consulate in the world.
