Flag selection
The registry matched to cruising area, use and ownership.
REGISTRATION
The flag on the stern is a legal decision wearing a decorative one. It decides tax exposure, where the yacht can cruise and for how long, whether she may charter, what safety regime applies, and how the ownership is structured behind her.
We work through it with maritime counsel: your cruising plans, charter intentions and ownership set against the registries that fit, with the trade-offs of each explained in plain language before anything is signed.
I have watched a cheap flag cost an owner a whole summer. Register her for the life she will actually lead and the paperwork fades into the background.
The paperwork that
decides everything else.
Private or commercial
Chartering changes the rules. We structure for it upfront.
VAT position
EU VAT guidance with counsel, documented so it survives scrutiny.
Ownership structure
The holding setup arranged with your legal and tax advisers.
Surveys & tonnage
The measurements and inspections the registry requires.
The certificates
Registration, radio licence, MMSI: delivered, and renewed on time.
From decision
to certificate.
