Direct answer

Is St Kitts & Nevis the right registration?

The St Kitts and Nevis International Ship Registry offers yacht registration for a range of vessel sizes and ownership profiles.

A provisional certificate can be issued first. Permanent-registration completion can require photographs showing the vessel, markings, home port, registration number and engine.

Good fit

Owners who want a defined one- or four-year international registration package and can complete the permanent-stage marking evidence.

Look elsewhere when

You want a permanent lifetime certificate or cannot supply ownership, technical and vessel-identification evidence.
