The benefits of Jersey as a Port of British Registry

Jersey is a Crown Dependency which has established a unique relationship with the English Crown since 1204. This grounding has facilitated the development of a mature and well-respected regulatory regime which meets international standards. As a leading international finance centre, Jersey can also offer the full range of legal, banking, company and trust services to assist potential vessel Owners to register in Jersey.

Being a member of the coveted Red Ensign Group, the Jersey registration system is monitored by the UK's Maritime and Coastguard Agency, and is an acknowledged market leader as a choice of port of Registry and has been active for over 200 years.

The Jersey Registry specialises in pleasure yachts up to 400 tons, but is also able to register small commercial vessels up to 150 tons. The popular A3 Certificate enclosed in the blue hardback cover is automatically issued, and the registration period lasts for 10 years. This extended period helps the Owner reduce renewal costs and causes less inconvenience.
