Vanuatu is a member of the United Nations and the British
Commonwealth and also has privileged economic and commercial relationships with
the French, African, Caribbean and Pacific nations. Yachts flying the Vanuatu flag
receive a friendly reception around the globe.
Pleasure yachts registered under the flag of Vanuatu are subject to the maritime
laws of the Republic of Vanuatu. The registration of your motor boat or yacht can
be under the name of a Vanuatu International Business Company (IBC). This alone
presents tremendous advantages. .
