How Fiduchi can help

With over 40 years of experience, Fiduchi’s team is well-versed in the nuances of yacht registration across multiple leading jurisdictions. Whether you're looking to register your yacht for private use or as part of a commercial venture, we provide tailored advice and seamless support to ensure your yacht is properly registered in the most advantageous way.

We help owners evaluate and select the ideal flag state based on:

  • The reputation and regulatory standards of the jurisdiction

  • Tax implications and VAT considerations

  • Privacy and confidentiality requirements

  • Financing and insurance preferences

  • The ease and cost of registration

Why choosing an appropriate flag jurisdiction is important

Choosing the right flag state is a key decision when registering a yacht, with far-reaching implications for compliance, operations, and ownership. The flag state governs the legal and regulatory framework under which the yacht operates, including safety standards, manning requirements, tax exposure, and eligibility for private or commercial use. A well-chosen flag can support smooth global cruising, enhance charter flexibility, and add long-term value to the asset. Conversely, an unsuitable flag may result in unnecessary costs, operational restrictions, or regulatory complications. As a Corporate Services Provider (CSP), we guide clients through the flag selection process based on their yacht’s size, usage, and ownership structure. Whether you are seeking a commercially friendly registry or one suited to private cruising, our team ensures that your chosen flag aligns with your operational needs and long-term objectives - backed by our experience in working with the world’s leading maritime registries.
