A Comprehensive Guide to Buying a Boat in Canada with Transport Canada Permits

If you’re looking into buying a boat in Canada , it’s important to consider all of the steps involved, from choosing the right boat to obtaining the necessary permits and licenses. It goes without saying that buying a boat in Canada is a challenging task that, in order to be done properly, requires a lot of planning and preparation on your part.

To help you through the process, we’ve put together a comprehensive guide to buying a boat in Canada, complete with all necessary permits. At the National Vessel Registry Center, you may learn all about the boat-buying procedure and Transport Canada’s boat license requirements.

The Steps Needed During Your Purchase

Purchasing a boat in Canada is a step that sounds both exciting and a lot of fun. However, the process of actually doing so can be quite a bit more challenging than one might hope for it to be. Taking this into account, and in order to better assist you, we’ve compiled a few pointers that you’ll want to keep in mind throughout the process so that you can navigate your boat purchase process more effectively.

Determining Your Needs

Before you start shopping for a boat, it’s important to determine what you’re looking for. Purchasing a boat in Canada seems both exciting and enjoyable. However, the actual process of doing so can be far more difficult than one might expect. Consider factors such as the type of boating you’ll be doing, the size and capacity of the boat, and your budget. This will help you narrow down your options and find the right boat for you.

Plans for Your Vessel and Specifications for the Engine

Will you utilize your boat for recreation with your family? Do you intend to take them swimming, skiing, or lakeside horseback riding? Alternatively, do you want to profit from this vessel? Do you envision charging for boat tours or carrying individuals between locations? If you intend to use the boat for business purposes, you must register it. The size of the vessel’s engine has a significant impact on the documentation requirements. For instance, you must register your vessel if its engine is greater than 7.5 kW, it is used for commercial purposes, and it weighs more than 15 gross tons. It must, however, be registered in the Small Vessel Register if it weighs less than 15 gross tons.

Purchasing a New Boat

If you plan to purchase a new boat, you will discover that the entire procedure, from searching for a boat to acquiring the appropriate documentation for registration or licensing, is relatively straightforward. If you buy the boat directly from the retailer or manufacturer, you won’t need to worry about having it inspected or having any mechanical repairs performed on it. Instead, you can be sure that the boat you are buying is of high quality and will last because of the guarantee and other similar measures.

Obtain the supporting documentation with the assistance of our online portal after you receive the bill of sale. Any vessel that will be used for commercial purposes needs to be registered with Transport Canada. Recreational use, on the other hand, does not require registration, but a license may be needed for a pleasure craft.

Make Certain That Your Boat Is Registered With Transport Canada.

After making your purchase, you must register it with Transport Canada in compliance with the applicable requirements. Now, registering your boat may sound like a tedious and time-consuming administrative procedure, but this is not the case. To complete this step, you will just need to submit the proper form through our system.

The initial registration step is simply accessible through our menu. You simply need to submit it along with the accompanying fee. The best part is that everything is carefully labeled throughout our website with instructions, and we are here to answer any questions you may have about the procedure.

Obtaining the Correct Forms

To legally operate a boat in Canada, you’ll need to obtain the necessary permits and licenses. This will vary depending on the province or territory in which you live, so it’s important to check with your local government agency for specific requirements. In most cases, you’ll need to obtain a Pleasure Craft License and a Vessel.

The Canadian Vessel Registry Working For You

We want the registration process to run as smoothly as possible for you, whether you are registering a new boat in Canada or revising an existing registration to reflect changes in ownership. Due to this, we have built our website so that you can simply access all of the required documents, complete them, and then submit them to Transport Canada. If you have any questions about buying a boat in Canada , the process you are presently handling, please do not hesitate to contact us. Simply phone us at (800) 419-9569 or send us an email at [email protected], and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

Purchasing a boat from Canada and importing to the US

• Thread starter PDReynolds
• Start date Jan 22, 2013
• Forums for All Owners
• Ask All Sailors

Hi Everyone, I am looking at purchasing a boat that is located in Annapolis, but the flag of registry is Canada. I believe the boat is manufactured in the US by Beneteau. Can some one help me plan for this? I will be registering my boat in Rhode Island. What steps would I need to do associated with US Customs. thanks  

Check and see what are the tax implications and consider maintaining the Canadian ownership registry if it would pose a significant advantage. The state of Rhode Island is only likely to care that you register the boat and pay the decal yearly fees.  

Canada needs their 13% - 15% provincial tax for any boat purchased and registered in a Canadian province. If I am not mistaken registration would be tied to country of residence also. I am not so concerned about RI, but more about the US border, or what the local port of entry will require.

I have seen this done to take advantage of the exchange rate. there are a few pitfalls, especially if the hull already has a convoluted title through the NVDC However, If you take posessions in international waters, and take the boat back to the US, you absolutely must have with you fully signed and detailed transaction documents and bills of sale that exactly match the names and IDs of the boat at each point in its past. Any slight difference in the history of the boat can make getting current US Coast guard registration a tedious process. customs/Homeland security can provide you with the necessary forms required on bringing the vessel in, but I have seen that is much easier than getting corrected docs through the NVDC. One of the things that will be difficult to document is the previous history. The us NVDC will have record if the boat started as a US vessel, however if it was exported to a dealer in Canada..........who knows. I saw an american built boat, originally documented, expired, sold to canada, expired, registered in province, Canadian national registration reapplied for, and through all this and errors in the Hull ID and first two vessel owners name. Then came the difficulty of deregistering a boat when you are not a canadian, it seems only the previous owner can do that in canada. (another stumbling block) and of course we cannot have registration current in 2 countries now could we???? When it came time to re-import that boat back from canada..... well it can be fun. IT can be a trying process. IF it was not for the professionalism and can do attiide of the NVDC, that boat would probably be still sitting in Western Canada.. Talk with the current owners, Get copies of all current documents, if not current at this time, make the registration current before the sale. Dont skip steps. Dont let anyone die during the process. have fun.  

Not necessary to Doccument your boat with the NVDC. Nice for the bank if you can, but difficult to dredge up all that history.  

I bought my used Hunter 33.5 from a broker in Toronto, Canada. I live in Rochester, NY and also border Lake Ontario. I paid the broker an agreed upon price. They did not charge tax because the boat was leaving Canada. When I sailed it to Rochester, New York, I had to call the US Customs folks and explain that I bought a US made boat and sailed it back to the US from Canada. There was no problem doing this. I then had to register the boat with the NY Department of Motor Vehicles. They collected sales tax on the amount I paid. I then documented the boat myself with the US Coast Guard. I filled out their forms and mailed it in. The documentation certificate was sent to me a couple of months later as I recall.  

Very interesting. Another twist here is I cannot document the boat with the US coastguard. I am a Canadian citizen and therefore must register the boat in a state. I am living and working in New England So the boat is sitting on the hard in Annapolis. I am planning to launch and sail her to Rhode Island and keep her near my home. Appreciate everyone's thoughts here. I have not placed the offer on the boat yet
