The <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8923" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Virgin Islands Shipping & Maritime Authority (Company)">Virgin Islands Shipping and Maritime Authority (VISMA)</a> has launched a new Yacht Engaged in Trade (YET) programme, providing British Virgin Islands (BVI)-flagged superyachts with a formal path to combine private use with limited commercial chartering in Greek, Monaco and French waters.The certification, which comes under a newly published <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8923" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Virgin Islands Shipping & Maritime Authority (Company)">Virgin Islands Shipping and Maritime Authority (VISMA)</a>, only applies to BVI-flagged yachts measuring 24-metres and above.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/285871/image/large-8fcbfd6ecd33123efe76d4c151e81472.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/285871">According to <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8923" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Virgin Islands Shipping & Maritime Authority (Company)">VISMA</a>, owners may retain their Pleasure Certificate of British Registry while taking on a temporary Yacht Engaged in Trade (YET) certificate for the duration of each charter period, for up to a maximum of 84 days per year. Once the charter concludes, the yacht's pleasure certificate is reinstated without requiring conversion to full commercial registration.<a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8923" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Virgin Islands Shipping & Maritime Authority (Company)">VISMA</a> also stated that owners are no longer required to leave European Union waters to complete new import or export formalities when switching between private and charter use.&nbsp;Under the programme, yachts may operate on either basis during the 18-month Temporary Admission period without further customs formalities, provided the relevant conditions are met. Yachts with VAT-paid status or in Free Circulation are not subject to the 18-month limit.<img src="https://photo-assets.superyachttimes.com/photo/363128/image/large-9de6013ee3a3b56cf02c66b85dc42db8.jpg" data-gid="gid://syiq/Photo/363128">The programme is intended for yachts already operating to a commercial standard. To qualify, vessels must measure at least 24-metres in load line length, hold class certification and comply with the Red Ensign Group Yacht Code, the Maritime Labour Convention, the International Safety Management Code and the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code.Furthermore, <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8923" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Virgin Islands Shipping & Maritime Authority (Company)">VISMA</a> verifies compliance through a survey before issuing a Yacht Engaged in Trade Certificate of Compliance, which must be held before each charter period.Charters are limited to 84 days annually and may carry no more than 12 passengers. For non-VAT-paid yachts, charters can currently only commence in Greek, Monaco or French waters. During charter periods, yachts operate under commercial requirements and remain subject to Port State Control inspections under the Paris Memorandum of Understanding.Commenting on the programme, Business Development Manager at <a data-gid="gid://syiq/Company/8923" href="#managed-by-system" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" title="Virgin Islands Shipping & Maritime Authority (Company)">VISMA</a>, Georgios Bazos, said: "This gives BVI-flagged yachts operating in Europe the opportunity to charter for part of the year while keeping their private registration for the rest. It's a natural next step for the registry, and one more option for owners who want flexibility without added complexity."
