As Croatia is a member of the European Union, EU citizens have the right to register their boats in
Croatia. However, non-EU citizens may face additional requirements and may need to obtain special
permits or visas.
The yacht registration process requires that the yacht owner has a permanent residence or an office
in Croatia, and that the yacht must comply with Croatian safety regulations and insurance
requirements. The yacht must be in compliance with the laws of the country of origin and the laws
of the flag state.
