The RMI Maritime Registry program was setup by the Marshall Islands Government in 1988 and has now become the second largest registry in the world in terms of gross tonnage.

Why is the Marshall Islands boat registration so popular?

The RMI registry is very popular with private yacht owners as they do not need an expensive survey to register their vessel (if it is classed, under 24 meters and less then 20 years old). Also, any vessel registered under Marshall Islands flag can easily obtain a US cruising permit which allows a vessel to go in and out of US ports without having to sign in with port authorities. The registration of private yachts is limited to those of 12 meter (m) or more in length overall (LOA).

Private yachts are defined as yachts not carrying passengers for hire, not engaged in trade or commerce, and used solely for the pleasure or recreational purposes of its owner. Private yachts of 12 m and more but less than 24 m in LOA and/or hull length (LH), and under 20 years of age, benefit with reduced registration procedures, processing times, and a competitive flat fee for registration. The same will apply to tenders from 7 m and more but less than 24 m in Length of an RMI registered yacht.

Marshall Islands Yacht Registration or register in Poland (see bottom of page)

We can register your boat in Marshall Islands or in 20 other flag registration jurisdictions. As the largest flag registration company we have a lot of experience in the registration of yachts in Marshall Islands.

When registering your boat it is important to first discuss with a boat registration specialist the best place to do this. This choice will depend on a number of factors including; type of use (private, bare boat or commercial), size and tonnage of your boat, private or corporate owned and even if the VSAT has been paid (if in Europe).

Start by contacting us and give us a short explanation of your personal circumstances. We can then advise you on where to register your boat. Your nationality does NOT matter as there are many “open” register countries that will accept boat owners from any country!

One recommendation is: register your boat in Poland from € 469,- and it is valid for life (no renewal cost) Do you need a European Union flag registration that is valid around the world and is available to all nationalities? We can provide you with a Polish (EU) flag registration. This registration is valid for the lifetime of the boat and therefore you will not need to renew your paperwork. The Polish Registration is an actual vessel flag registration and is valid around the world with no limitations.

The whole process is very simple, as you do not need a yacht survey and we can arrange a fully valid provisional registration in 2 days. The cost is from €469,- this is all-inclusive and a one-time fee with no renewal fee.
