Change the owner of a boat registered at Rye Harbour
Notify the Rye Harbour Authority of a change in ownership of a registered boat.
Applies to England
You can use this form to notify the Rye Harbour Authority if you have sold a boat that’s registered to use Rye Harbour.
If you do not notify the harbour master about a change in the boat’s ownership, you’ll continue to be liable for the annual harbour dues.
If the boat has an engine (a powered boat), the new owner must also have third-party liability insurance.
If the boat is, or is going to be, moored at one of the moorings operated by the harbour authority, the new owner will need to apply for a new annual mooring license.
Before you start
You need to know:
- the new owner’s contact details
- where the new owner is going to keep the boat
- the name and address of the insurance company insuring for the boat for the new owner (if it’s a powered boat)
Other ways to apply
You can also register by post or email.
Email the form to rye.harbour@environment-agency.gov.uk or post it to:
