Spanish Charter Licenses

If you intend to charter in Spanish waters which includes picking up or dropping off guests in Spanish territory then the law requires you to be in possession of a complete Spanish charter license.

In order to acquire a charter license you must go through three stages:
· It is necessary to obtain a permit from the Department of Transport of the province you are operating in. In order to gain this permit you will need to be registered for tax on your charter earnings in Spain; show your full EU registration document; show your insurance and various other documentation plus paying an annual stamp duty to the government. This stage of the charter license must be renewed annually.
· It is necessary to obtain the seaworthiness certificate for charter of the EU country in which the yacht is registered.
· Both of the above documents must then be presented to Capitania Maritima and the final charter license obtained. This usually runs until the seaworthiness certificate is due for renewal.
