Yacht Registration Under The Belgium Flag

We register boats under the Belgium flag - Worldwide valid registration

The Belgium flag registration used to be a very popular registration but that changed in September, 2019 when the government announced that only Belgium citizens and Belgium companies could register a boat under the Belgium flag.

So now you can only register a vessel under Belgium flag if you are a citizen, resident or a company in Belgium that is at least 50% owner of the vessel. All existing licenses that are currently valid for 5 years will not be effected by this new law until they are due for renewal.

We can still take care of your flag registration in Belgium if you are a Belgium citizen

We can take care of your Belgium boat registration for you if you are a citizen of Belgium. See our required documents below.

We have the perfect alternative for Belgium Boat Registrations for only 420 Euro

Do you need a European Union flag registration that is valid around the world and is available to all nationalities – we can provide you with a Polish (EU) flag registration. This registration is valid for the lifetime of the boat and therefore you will not need to renew your paperwork. The whole process is very simple, as you do not need a yacht survey and can be done in 7 days if you supply us with the correct documents.
