Do I need any inspections for my 15+ meter recreational yacht with Polish registration?

YES, You need 2 technical inspections every 5 years. But boats less than 10 years old are exempt

A Class Certificate  issued after technical survey is required

The Class Certificate is a document certifying seaworthiness of a seagoing yacht in technical terms. The Yacht, its devices and equipment are subject to technical supervision of their compliance with requirements regarding construction, reconstruction, equipment, repairs and technical inspections.

A Yacht Safety Certificate is an obligatory requirement for seagoing recreational yachts of more than 15 m in length.

Your 15+ meter yacht needs a technical inspection and check of safety gear at year 1 of operation, again after year 2, and after year 5.

The safety gear checks can be reduced to once every 5 years if the owner develops and implements an independent safety inspection program.

Recreational yachts with CE certificates less than 10 years old are exempt from the Class Certificate.

Polish qualified inspectors are available worldwide. If you can give us information about your yacht (Make & Model, year of construction, and port location) we can provide a cost estimate for the inspection. Contact us at register@polishyachtflag.com
