HomeServices Yacht Registration The Bahamas Maritime Authority is a well-respected flag worldwide and continues to be a top performing flag on the whitelists of the Paris MoU (Europe and Canada) and Tokyo MoU (Asia and Australia) and of the USCG Qualship21 program. The BMA provides a straightforward, cost effective and efficient registration procedure for private and charter yachts of 12 metres in length and above, and for passenger yachts. The only flag with a dedicated code for small charter yachts, The BMA is a pioneering flag with a Passenger Yachts Code (PYC) to allow yachts to carry more than 12, and up to 36, passengers. Meeting the growing demand from yacht owners to be able to carry more guests on board. The BMA has developed specific technical and surveys requirements, tailored to small (12 to 24 metres) and large (over 24 metres) yachts in charter (commercial) or private (non-commercial) use and for private yachts in restricted charter use.
