Turkey’s published boat-sale instructions address the registered owner, buyer and port authority. They do not identify a separate licence for a yacht sales broker in Istanbul and the Sea of Marmara. The Turkish Ship Registry sets separate flag-entitlement conditions and bars a vessel already registered in another state from being entered there at the same time. Turkish Ministry of Transport, Bağlama Kütüğü sales procedure
A registered craft changes hands through the port authority’s sale process, using its original registry licence, both parties’ identity documents and a formal document establishing the transfer. The buyer should distinguish a local Bağlama Kütüğü ownership update from a full Turkish flag registration. Applicants use the Umurbey portal and present the required papers to the competent port office. Ask for evidence that the port office completed the transfer entry. A Turkish tax authority rule excludes qualifying private pleasure boats from a particular VAT relief on port services, which is distinct from the tax due on a sale.
