Matriculación y abanderamiento de embarcación de recreo (registration and flagging of a recreational vessel, RD 1435/2010)

Matriculación y abanderamiento de embarcación de recreo (registration and flagging of a recreational vessel, RD 1435/2010) is filed with Distrito Marítimo / Capitanía Marítima competente (DGMM). With Managora you do it 100% online: you answer a few questions, sign a digital mandato (power of representation) and we draft, sign and file your application for you. What we charge you: from €400. Official tasa (government fee): The tasa (official fee) charged by the Direccion General de la Marina Mercante (Directorate General of the Merchant Navy) is filed with the Modelo 790, code 025, and is worked out from the vessel's tonnage in GT and from the registry actions you request, so there is no single figure and it is not included in the price: we calculate it and confirm it to you in writing before you pay it. Bear in mind as well that the first registration of a recreational vessel over 8 metres in length, and that of any jet ski whatever its length, is subject to the Impuesto Especial sobre Determinados Medios de Transporte (Spanish registration tax, art. 65.1.b of Ley 38/1992), filed with the Modelo 576 and calculated on the value of the vessel.

We handle the registration of your recreational vessel in the Registro de Matrícula de Buques (Spanish ship register) before the Distrito Marítimo: registration and flagging in Lista 7.ª (private use) or Lista 6.ª (charter). If your vessel is 12 metres or shorter and carries CE marking on the hull and the engine, the law exempts it from flagging and registration (art. 8 RD 1435/2010): in that case we apply on your behalf for the certificado de inscripción (certificate of entry), which is what actually applies to you and which the Distrito Marítimo issues within 15 days. We verify the EU declaration of conformity, the certificate of seaworthiness where applicable, the compulsory civil liability insurance (RD 607/1999) and, if the length is over 8 metres or it is a jet ski, the prior settlement of the registration tax (Modelo 576). Sail, motor (inboard or outboard), inflatable, jet ski or windsurf board.

Practical guide: Special licences in Spain: AM (moped), B+E, ADR and boating qualifications. Requirements, deadlines and the steps, explained.
