We assist owners who are purchasing pleasure craft to help ensure the vessels are registered under the most suitable flag.
Key Research & Considerations
We research the appropriate legal requirements based on the vessel type and the owner's residency. For British-registered vessels post-Brexit, we evaluate the VAT and tax status to assist in ensuring compliance in EU waters. We also review flag options, such as the Red Ensign (UK Part 1) vs. the Italian RID.
