VANUATU YACHT REGISTRATION

We can register your Yacht or Ship TAX FREE under the Vanuatu Flag
Vanuatu is a member of the United Nations and the British Commonwealth and also has privileged economic and commercial relationships with the French, African, Caribbean and Pacific nations. Vessels flying the Vanuatu flag receive a friendly reception around the globe. Vanuatu not only has a Pleasure Yacht Registry, but an International open registry for commercial vessels and a unique Historic Registry for vessels with historical or cultural significance.

The registration of your Yacht or Ship can be done under the name of a Vanuatu International Business Company (IBC) or individual name. The first option presents tremendous advantages.
Pleasure yachts registered under the flag of Vanuatu are subject to the maritime laws of the Republic of Vanuatu.

  1. Application for Registration of Pleasure Yacht.
  2. Declaration of Pleasure Yacht Owner.
  3. Notarized proof of vessel ownership.
