Polish flag registration can be done online, but the documents must be physically collected in Poland. For this reason, we will ask you to sign a Power of Attorney to handle the registration of your yacht.

We don’t chase a high volume of registrations. Instead, we focus on quality and provide an individual approach to each client.
 
For boats up to 24 meters intended for private use, the registration process is simple and quick. The Polish ship registry does not require survey documents if you register your yacht as a pleasure craft and do not sail in Polish waters. However, it is the shipowner’s responsibility to arrange for a survey independently.
 
Commercial boats, always require a survey, which can only be done by a Polish inspector. Feel free to contact us for further details.
