OUR SERVICES

Your professional "Service of Choice" for all services related to United States Coast Guard vessel documentation at the office of the National Vessel Documentation Center for Recreational or Commercial vessels.

Vessel documentation is the Federal registration with the United States Coast Guard at the office of the National Vessel Documentation Center for both Recreational And Commercial vessels meeting the qualifying volume measurement of at least 5 net tons. United States citizenship is required.

USCG Documentation establishes an internationally recognized maritime title providing an official basis for vessel identification.  A history of ownership, Preferred Ship Mortgage, Notice of Claim of Lien are recorded at the National Vessel Documentation Center on title record for the vessel and can be provided as an Abstract of Title upon request.

Most lenders currently require a vessel to be a federally United States Coast Guard documented vessel, allowing the lender to perfect a security interest referred to as a Preferred Ship Mortgage.

It is our goal to be your "Service of Choice" offering a professional, experienced maritime title service with a personalized touch!

"Thank you, Maribeth! It was so nice working with you, you made it so easy and enjoyable bringing my new boat out from the East Coast.  All of the documentation was so very overwhelming, but, you made it very simple and easy for me. You answered all of my questions and made me feel very comfortable and directed me in the right direction every time. Thank you again and I look forward to working with you in the future.."
