Gibraltar has a long history and has become a hub for luxury yachts and their appeal. Factors such as low taxation policies, three well-known marinas and membership of the British Flag Registry have been the choice of many superyacht owners.
Known for the iconic rock at the entrance to the Mediterranean Sea, this special offshore region offers the perfect location for registering and mooring yachts. The Gibraltar Yacht Registry is a prestigious, internationally recognized registry that provides an effective and cost-effective service. This registry is an ideal option for yacht owners looking for the security of belonging to the British Registry and sailing under the Red Ensign flag.
As part of the Red Ensign Group, it provides the flexibility to connect effectively with other Red Ensign ports. It offers competitive prices compared to other British ports, offering fast turnaround times for matters such as registration service, provision of official documents etc.
More than 800 registered active cruising yachts benefit from comprehensive maritime legislation based on English Common Law, providing yacht owners with a reliable legal and financial environment. British nationals, British Dependent Territories nationals, British Overseas nationals or EU or EEA nationals, or companies registered in the EU or EEA, can register a ship in Gibraltar but must have a majority shareholding. If the holders of the majority shares (e.g. 33 shares) are not resident in Gibraltar, a Representative Person or Registered Representative must be appointed. If you have a business in Gibraltar, you can register as a legal entity.
