Boat Title Search Guidelines

Boat title search guidelines for USCG documented, state registered, and foreign vessels.

A thorough and accurate boat title search lays the necessary foundation for any kind of vessel transaction. However, this can be extremely challenging given all the ways in which ownership, liens, and historical data are recorded. A typical search can include U.S. Coast Guard documentation, state registration, and perhaps even foreign registries. This website, along with our premier "BoatScope" database, is designed specifically for assisting prospective buyers, marine lenders, industry professionals, and the entire boating community in navigating the complexities of such endeavor. The following information and guidelines will cover everything you will need to know about title and history searches from ski-boats to mega-yachts.
