| Registering your yacht or boat in the State of Delaware. For a "title" state you will need the original Title (no copies) signed by the seller and purchaser and a notarized Bill of Sale. For a "non-title" state you will need the original boat registration card and a notarized bill of sale that includes both the buyer's and seller's names. In the event of registering a factory new boat, then you would submit the Certificate or Origin (as a title would not have been issued yet). And remember: Delaware is a NO SALES TAX state. You may chose to INCORPORATE in Delaware and have your boat registered as a business or you may register the boat in your own name. |

Classes and Fees
Delaware recognizes five classes of boats, based on boat length. How much you pay in
registration fees depends on which class boat you register:
Class A: under 16 feet: $10
Class 1: 16 and over to under 26 feet: $20
Class 2: 26 and over to under 40 feet: $30
Class 3: 40 and over to under 65 feet: $50
Class 4: 65 feet and over: $60
You can register and renew your registration for periods of one year or three years. If
you choose to register or renew for three years, simply triple the original fee. For
example, registering or renewing the registration of a Class A boat for three years
would cost $30.
