Yachting

Our Malta Pleasure Yachts team of lawyers and consultants have a passion for super yachts and are specialised in ownership solutions for super yachts, yacht registrations and tax optimisation of yacht ownership and enjoyment.  The firm acts for major international pleasure yachts brands, super yacht brokers and yacht owners, assisting with all legalities of yacht ownership, freeing up time for better enjoyment of the vessel.   

Chetcuti Cauchi provides high quality and cost-effective legal services to yacht owners, charterers, managers, lenders, insurers, brokers, designers or builders – whatever the size or type of craft.  We advise on new building projects, the sale and purchase of second-hand yachts, financing, registration, tax matters, statutory compliance, commercial management and operation, insurance, crewing and chartering.

Our tax team empowers our maritime lawyers with VAT and Tax expertise; we design hybrid bespoke solutions which best suit our client's different scenarios.

Where needed, we offer a more holistic approach, acting as a yacht concierge covering not only legal formalities of super yacht ownership structuring but also all aspects of its mooring, maintenance and upkeep.

Our Malta Yacht Lawyers enjoy long-standing experience and know-how in the super yacht market.  Several of our lawyers are members, in their own right, of the Royal Malta Yacht Club and own and sail their own yachts.  The firm is also a member of the Malta Maritime Law Association.
