Dutch Yacht Registration
As of January 1, 2021, it is no longer possible to register your vessel via the Dutch ICP boat registration!
Option 1 Polish Flag
For those who need European Union flag registration and are looking for an option that is valid worldwide, Polish flag registration offers a solution. This registration is valid for the life of the boat and therefore the paperwork will not need to be renewed. The Polish Registration is a genuine ship flag registration, not like the Dutch ICP, which is a certificate of ownership, and is valid worldwide without any restrictions. The process is quite simple as a yacht survey is not required and a fully valid provisional registration can be arranged within 2 days. The cost starts from 420 euros, which is a one-time fee with everything included and no renewal fee.
Option 2 Register with Zeebrief
The Netherlands holds the International Certificate of Registration, which is an internationally recognized standard for flag registrations for yachts. This registration is not just a boat ownership registration like the Dutch ICP, but a true flag registration and is valid worldwide. We can also provide this registration for EU citizens and non-EU citizens.
The process consists of two steps: The first step is to submit all the documents (we carry out this process for you) and the second step is to perform a one-time inspection of your ship. We do not require a survey or tonnage certificate to register your yacht as a special-use vessel, but if your vessel is less than 24 meters in length, an inspector from the Dutch maritime authority will need to visit your vessel to measure and add markings. This process includes micropoints (anti-theft) on your ship. The inspector does not conduct an actual survey, just a simple check.
Bearing in mind that the inspector can meet you anywhere, you do not need to bring the ship to the Netherlands, but you will be charged the actual travel costs. This fee paid to maritime authorities for inspection is not included in the registration price and may vary depending on the location of your ship. Average costs across Europe range from €650 to €1000. The registration process will take approximately 6 weeks.
Once registration is complete, we will immediately arrange an appointment for the inspector to inspect your vessel once again. If you are in a hurry and do not want to wait during your vessel’s inspection, we can arrange a temporary registration. This temporary registration is valid for exactly 6 months and gives you enough time to have the ship inspected. The optional fee for provisional registration is 300 euros.
