Commercial Yacht Registration
As with private/pleasure yacht registration, the following applies.
Any citizen of Malta or of the European Union (EU) and any company registered in Malta or in an EU Member State may register a yacht under the Malta flag. However, unless residing in Malta, an EU citizen must appoint a local agent in Malta to handle matters.
A non-EU citizen cannot procure the registration of a yacht in Malta directly. However, any such non-EU citizen would be entitled to set up a company in Malta to hold and register the relevant yacht under the Malta flag.
