The Croatian maritime rules cited here govern vessel registration and changes of ownership; they do not specify a standalone licence for yacht sales brokers. The new owner is responsible for the required register update. A vessel moving from a foreign register to Croatia needs evidence of ownership and a certificate showing deletion from its former register, alongside the technical and eligibility papers required for entry. The national process also governs sales in Dubrovnik. Croatian Ministry of the Sea, instructions for boat registration
After acquiring a registered boat, the buyer has 30 days to ask the competent Harbourmaster’s Office to update ownership. The sale contract must be written and the transferring owner’s signature certified. Search the boat’s register folio for recorded mortgages, restrictions or other entries affecting the owner’s ability to sell. For a boat kept in EU customs territory, Union-goods status normally continues; preserve its original invoice and any import records relevant to VAT.
