Yacht and Ship Registration

In partnership with Acclaim, yacht and ship owners, managers and charterers can take advantage of the Isle of Man's legislation and its favourable tax regime.

The Isle of Man has one of the world's leading ship registries, which prides itself in being a centre for excellence in all aspects of ship and yacht registration.  The registry provides a high quality, client focussed service while offering significant cost savings over its competitors. For this reason, we primarily register yachts and ships in the Isle of Man, though we can also offer registration in other reputable jurisdictions on request.

Some of the key benefits for registering in the Isle of Man include:

• Favourable tax treatment and beneficial VAT arrangements 
• No annual tonnage tax
• A quick and efficient registration process
• The availability of Demise registry both "IN" and "OUT"
• The right to fly the "Red Ensign" and access the support of British consular services world-wide and British Royal Navy protection
• Security of mortgages on the Island
• Flexibility in registered ownership requirements
• A one-off low initial registration fee

We can assist you in determining the most favourable structure for holding and operating your yacht and liaise with the ship registry to allow a smooth and efficient registration.  If you'd like further information on the services we can offer, please contact us.
