Chetcuti Cauchi’s Maritime Law Practice Group is geared to provide assistance with the commercial yacht registrations under the Malta flag. Our Maritime Lawyers offer an all-round assistance to clients wishing to undertake a commercial yacht registration procedure under the Malta flag. Chetcuti Cauchi holds strong ties with surveyors, yacht management companies, financial institutions, insurance companies and banks which allow it to provide a one stop-shop service for Malta commercial yacht registration and maintenance.
The Malta flag allows the commercial registration of a wide array of yachts, ranging from historical yachts to yachts over 24 meters in length. The newly amended commercial yacht code enables Malta to keep up with the industry’s ever innovative marine technology and at the same time to develop the regulatory system in line with the challenges and requirements of the maritime sector.
Chetcuti Cauchi’s multidisciplinary team undertakes a strategic advisory role to companies and individuals setting to register their commercial yachts with the Malta flag, including the provision of corporate assistance and sound tax advice. The team ensures that the Malta commercial yacht registration procedure is amalgamated with tax and corporate law advice for the purposes of implementing a structure that provides the client with asset protection and fiscal advantages, when available. The team, together with technical collaborators, prepares all the documentation necessary for the successful Malta commercial yacht registration. Thereafter, our team guides clients with regards to the regulatory and compliance requirements for the maintenance of the yacht’s registration.
