• Tax Benefits: Yacht owners enjoy a simplified and transparent tax structure, often resulting in lower overall costs compared to other jurisdictions.
• EU Compliance: Estonia's EU membership ensures adherence to European regulations, providing access to European waters and enhancing the flag's international standing.
• Flexibility for Non-Residents: Yacht owners can register without a physical presence in Estonia, offering convenience for international boat owners seeking a straightforward and accessible registration option.

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!
