BlueWater Registration Services: professional yacht registration with international flags

BlueWater Registration Services BV is a Netherlands-based company dedicated exclusively to the registration of pleasure and commercial vessels, as well as related maritime administrative services. Its team, led by founder and director Jeroen Korthuis, together with account managers and registration specialists Ingrid and Chanel, serves yacht owners, brokers, and marine industry professionals worldwide. The company reports over 18 years of experience and more than 50,000 registrations processed.

Yacht registration services

BlueWater's portfolio covers several flagging options, each with specific conditions and timelines:

• San Marino pleasure registration: from €590, with fast processing within two working days, no inspection for vessels under 24 meters, and certificate valid until 2050.
• San Marino commercial registration: from €3,450, ready in two working days, certificate valid until 2050, and internationally accepted.
• Polish EU registration: from €395, no expiry date, and provisional registration available in one working day.
• Polish commercial registration: €1,750, no expiry date; the company presents it as Europe's most affordable commercial option.
• UK Part 1 registration: €1,350, with a recognized mortgage system and priority one-working-day option.
• Dutch Zeebrief registration: €1,950, official Dutch registration recognized internationally and included in the IMO White List.
• MMSI & AIS radio license: €350, fast issuance, internationally valid, and can be integrated with registration.

Additional services

In addition to registration, the company offers a yacht insurance request with a 24-hour response through a leading industry company, and the formation of a UK limited company as a structured ownership solution for owners who need to meet the requirements of UK Part 1 registration or other options in its portfolio.

How we work and guarantees

BlueWater emphasizes that each file is handled personally, with a dedicated account manager from initial assessment to certificate issuance. The company states it has an encrypted digital platform for uploading and securely storing documents, and offers a money-back guarantee if a properly submitted application is formally rejected by the maritime authority. Defined internal procedures aim to reduce errors and prevent unnecessary delays. Suitability and compliance assessment remain supervised at director level under Dutch corporate governance standards.

Team profile

The structure is small and specialized: Jeroen Korthuis handles registry suitability assessment, compliance, and strategic oversight; Ingrid focuses on structured file management and direct client coordination; Chanel specializes in documentation review, communication with authorities, and ongoing support. The company explicitly presents itself as an accessible team, not a call center or an anonymous platform.

Resources for owners and professionals

The site includes a blog with practical guides on topics such as Polish commercial registration for owner-skippered yachts, selling a Polish-flagged vessel outside Poland, or the 24-meter limit in Polish registration. It also offers a comparative flag guide, a newsletter, and an AI knowledge bot for specific queries.
