FAQ

Do I need an Official Certificate for my boat? And why should I choose the Polish Flag?

Every yacht requires an Official Flag Registration. If you don’t have one, registering your boat with a Polish flag, brings you many advantages:

• No inspections for boats with a length of up to 15m
• No Maritime restrictions – You can fly the ship anywhere in the world
• Official Flag Registration with the Polish Authorities
• Registration can be very quick (24 hours)
• This will be a certificate for life. 
• Commercial use is also possible up to 12 persons on board (including crew)

If your boat length is above 15m, we can issue your flag certificate without inspection, but you will need one to operate the vessel. Boats with length above 15m require a “Safety Card”. For commercial use, an inspection conducted by the Polish authorities is required (an official will travel to your boat location). Boats with length above 15m that are for pleasure use can obtain a seaworthiness certificate issued locally by most countries.
