Day skipper is fine in Croatia , it’s a higher ticket then icc anyway

Re: Boat registration in the EU - as EU citizen

Thanks

It is indeed very hard to find real world info. In fact thinking of avoiding this altogether. My qualifications are IYT with ICC & Radio Operators licence.

The radio license is also in work, I did the RYA SRC course for that reason.

Re: Boat registration in the EU - as EU citizen

Am I the only one who finds noonsite not very helpful in researching actual requirements per country? Any better source that explains things in clear and understandable terms?

Re: Boat registration in the EU - as EU citizen

It should be pointed out that Greece recognises the ICC , it’s just that it doesn’t issue them itself

Many countries that didn’t or still don’t require any qualifications didn’t sign the resolutions , but are quite happy to recognise the icc

Re: Boat registration in the EU - as EU citizen

The Irish ISA and U.K. RYA have special dispensations to issue icc to countries that don’t issue national iccs including the USA

Are they legit?
I've used https://www.yachtregistration.compan...ration-poland/
They were very responsive with any questions I had. I would recommend them. The process took 28 days and I got my provisional registration within 15 days.

Re: Boat registration in the EU - as EU citizen

I just helped a sailing pal from Hungary to register his yacht in Poland. It took about a months. This registration requires no renewal nor technical inspection, as long as it is a recreational / pleasure use declared. Some sailors (me too ) counts their bucks or Euros. The boat registration cost him EUR 280, including a sworn translation, as required.

Re: Boat registration in the EU - as EU citizen

All this talk about registering a foreign flagged boat in Poland.

Does one not have to pay VAT to Poland? One does not have to have a Post-Construction Assessment survey?

Vat and flag resignation technically have nothing to do with each other

Poland needs documented proof that if vat is due it has been paid. It didn’t matter where.

Post construction Certs are not needed for production boats.

I was referring to a US built boat that was not in the EU prior to 1998 and my understanding was that when I brought my 1973 Pearson 36 to the EU as a resident of the EU, I was required to pay VAT to the first country I landed in and was required to put the boat through a PCA to have the boat CE marked.

A few months ago I registered in Poland boat I build by my own according to plans purchased from a French Naval Architect. Except presenting basic data from the plans, such as dimensions, STIX calculation and the design category statement, an official statement of mine as the manufacturer was needed that the boat was built by me in a proper manner. No obligatory inspection was required.
However, if one wants for own purpose may order such a service.
