the present flag with the relevant national authorities.

yacht in another country. We are entirely au fait with the de-registration process in France as
well as in the other member states of the European Union and other countries.

under. a service carried out with all the urgency you would expect.

Countries That Do Not Require Vessel Registration
Does your boat originate in a nation where registration is not required, such as, Sweden, the Netherlands, or Denmark for vessels under ten metres?
Getting your non-registration certificate for the new registration is taken care of as part of our service.

VAT and Customs Duties

and customs fees. Check now to see what kind of purchase you are making; rules are
always changing and the hundreds of transactions we have tracked over the past few years
allow us to assess a boat acquisition file's weak points with extreme precision. Ours is a
service that enables you to save time, avoid the mess of paperwork, and maybe make
significant financial savings!

Verification of the Official Register

You are interested in a France-based boat and want to verify that its ownership is all above
board? Purchasing a yacht that does not belong (or no longer belongs) to the seller who
purports to be its owner is a nightmare situation. A simple check can verify that the vessel in
question is the seller's and that there are no maritime mortgages recorded on it. To protect
your transaction, we provide administrative verification services.
A quick check is preferable to a drawn-out legal process.

Secure Your Transaction

Are you hunting for the right boat and hoping your purchase will be a success?
Online ads, specialist websites, and the availability of boats on the European and global
market have never been more abundant. Pre-purchase verification can protect your
purchase. If you get in touch with us, an expert can communicate with the seller on your
behalf. When registering the vessel in France or under the flag of your choice, we examine
the vessel's status and perform flag registry inspections, certification, and compliance.
Additionally, we can help you decide which of your selections is ideal.

Radio Licence and MMSI Number

If you are looking to acquire the French flag, you must be aware that all French pleasure
boats are obliged to obtain a radio licence from the national frequency agency (ANFR). An
MMSI number may be assigned based on the radio equipment installed on the vessel. The
team also provides the service in addition to ship registration. Need advice on VHF
equipment? Ask our navigation experts.
