Designed to combine the benefits of a corporation with the tax advantages of a partnership, a Delaware Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a hybrid business form. Owners of an LLC are not held personally responsible for the debts and liabilities of the LLC, unlike owners of a corporation.

This could be helpful for those who want the tax pass-through treatment but cannot meet the IRS standards for a “S” corporation.

We facilitate the establishment of a Delaware LLC (Limited Liability Company) on your behalf as the initial step.
A non-US citizen has the opportunity to possess a Delaware LLC, which can subsequently hold ownership of a vessel registered in Delaware. We assist in establishing this LLC exclusively for you, with you being the sole owner. To accomplish this, you execute a bill of sale transferring the ownership of your boat to your newly formed Delaware LLC. Notarizing the bill of sale is a straightforward process since you act as both the seller (individual) and the buyer (your company). The primary purpose of this LLC is to possess your boat, resulting in no tax obligations. The setup procedure for the LLC typically concludes within approximately 24 hours. You have the option of utilizing our provided sample Bill of Sale or utilizing your own document.
We handle the registration of your vessel under the Delaware flag.
After your LLC has been established and the Bill of Sale has been notarized, we proceed with the application for your Delaware yacht registration. The processing time for this registration is approximately 5 days for express service or 2 to 3 weeks for regular service. Once you have obtained your registration, your vessel will be eligible to fly the US flag in international waters across the globe.
The annual fee for renewing your LLC is set at $400 USD. Fortunately, since the LLC is solely utilized for vessel ownership purposes, you are only required to pay the renewal fee without having to complete any additional paperwork. It’s important to note that all renewals must be processed before June 1st of each calendar year.
If the Delaware LLC does not engage in any direct or indirect business activities within the United States, and the managers, nominees, and/or beneficial owners are neither US citizens nor green card holders, it is possible for the LLC to be exempt from all US taxes. It’s important to note that tax regulations can be complex and subject to change, so consulting with a tax professional or attorney familiar with international tax laws is advisable to ensure compliance and to fully understand the specific tax implications in your situation.
To maintain the active and valid status of your company on an annual basis, you are required to pay the registered agent fee of $75 USD. The registered agent serves as the official representative for your company in the USA. It’s important to note that this fee is separate from the annual state tax, which is due before June 1st each year. The registered agent fee covers the services provided by the registered agent in accepting and handling legal documents and official correspondence on behalf of your company.
Here are some important FAQs regarding MMSI radio licenses:
An MMSI radio license is a legal authorization that allows you to operate VHF, AIS, and EPIRB radio equipment on your boat.
An MMSI radio license is mandatory in many countries to ensure proper identification and communication at sea. Operating without a valid license can result in fines or penalties.
Typically, an MMSI radio license remains valid for 10 years from the date of issuance.
It depends on the issuing authority. Some licenses, such as those issued by the UK Telecom authorities, can be used with any flag. However, licenses issued by the US FCC Telecom authorities are only valid for US-flagged vessels.
Typically, you will need to provide personal information, boat details (such as name, registration number, and dimensions), and proof of ownership or authority to operate the vessel.
Operating without a valid MMSI license can result in legal repercussions, including fines, vessel confiscation, or denial of port entry in certain jurisdictions.
Remember, specific regulations may vary by country, so it’s essential to comply with the rules and requirements of your sailing destination.
The MMSI number, or Maritime Mobile Service Identity, is a nine-digit numerical code specifically assigned to your boat. This unique identifier plays a vital role in marine traffic monitoring systems, enabling effective VHF communications, facilitating customs and border security procedures, supporting emergency response efforts, and enabling accurate commercial call tracking and billing processes.
A radio call sign for a boat is a unique identifier used for communication purposes over radio frequencies. It serves as a distinct name or designation assigned to a boat or vessel to facilitate effective and efficient radio communications. The radio call sign is typically used when initiating or responding to radio communications, enabling clear identification, and ensuring accurate message delivery between boats, maritime authorities, and other relevant parties.
DSC stands for Digital Selective Calling, and it is a feature available on marine radios. DSC is a digital communication protocol used to initiate distress calls, send and receive position information, and establish direct communications between vessels. It enhances safety and efficiency in marine communications by providing a reliable and standardized method of transmitting important information. DSC allows for automated distress alerts with precise location data, making it easier for nearby vessels and maritime authorities to respond to emergencies. Additionally, DSC enables selective calling, where specific vessels can be directly contacted using their unique MMSI (Maritime Mobile Service Identity) numbers.
The transmission range of a marine radio can vary depending on several factors, including the type of radio, its power output, antenna height, atmospheric conditions, and any obstructions or interference in the area. In general, the effective range of a typical marine VHF radio operating on channels 16 and 9 (the international distress and hailing frequencies) is considered to be around 5 to 20 nautical miles (9 to 37 kilometers) for line-of-sight communications. However, it’s important to note that this range can be significantly extended if there are repeater stations or other vessels acting as relay points in the area. It’s recommended to check the specifications and capabilities of your specific marine radio for more accurate information on its transmission range.
We need to know the following:
