Licensing Your Yacht for Commercial & Leisure Purposes

Renting out your yacht for commercial & leisure purposes? You’ll need a yacht charter license to ensure your sailing adventures are above board. This license is your assurance that your yacht meets all safety and operational standards required by port authorities. Think of it as a health check for your vessel, confirming she’s ready to face the high seas while adhering to all-important maritime laws. Charter license regulations are dependent on your yacht’s flag state and should intertwine with your yachts code & compliance.
