Lighting The Way to Yacht Documentation
The required documentation and licensing of recreational vessels can be a

has established a reputation for providing a full-range of professional
yacht documentation and consultation services. The firm’s prompt and
courteous service has enabled numerous yacht owners to take advantage of
all possible registration avenues. Jan Saxton’s extensive knowledge of the
industry helps to facilitate the documentation process. Her clients also
benefit from Saxton’s almost 30 years of experience on the South Florida
marine industry.
What Is Yacht Documentation?
Documentation is a federal registration of vessels five net tons and over
(approx. 28’ and up) with the U.S. Coast Guard, and is generally a
requirement of banks and financial companies who may be financing a portion
of the purchase price.
The documentation procedure here in the United States is patterned after
the British system of registering yachts, with the primary purpose being
the establishment of an internationally recognized maritime title for the
yacht. The Certificate of Documentation acts as the vessel’s passport
in foreign waters as well as an authorization for the vessel’s use in
general or specific trades. Additionally, vessel documentation establishes
an official basis for vessel identification and control.
Due to the fact that documentation allows the recordation of preferred
mortgages on the Abstract of Title of Vessels, banks and finance companies
are assured of a federally recorded lien. Documentation also provides
protection against fraudulent transfer of the yacht.
