Determine your eligibility: Only certain individuals or entities are eligible to register a boat under the St. Vincent flag. These include citizens and permanent residents of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, as well as companies registered in St. Vincent and the Grenadines. If you do not fall under any of these categories, you may need to appoint a local agent or representative to complete the registration process on your behalf.

Choose a name for your boat: You will need to choose a name for your boat that is not already in use by another vessel. You can check the availability of your desired name by contacting the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Maritime Administration.

Gather necessary documentation: You will need to provide certain documents to register your boat under the St. Vincent flag, including proof of ownership, a bill of sale, and proof of insurance. You may also need to provide a tonnage measurement certificate and a radio license, depending on the size and type of your vessel.

Complete the registration application: You can obtain a registration application form from the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Maritime Administration. Fill out the form with all the necessary information and submit it, along with the required documentation, to the administration.

Pay the registration fee: There is a fee for registering your boat under the St. Vincent flag. The fee will depend on the size and type of your vessel. You can contact the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Maritime Administration to get more information about the registration fees.
