Florida Statutes 327 and 328 regulate the
administration and enforcement of vessel registration and titling laws, as well as boating
safety.
When Must My Vessel Be Titled in the State of Florida?
All vessels operated on the waters of Florida shall be numbered and
titled pursuant to Chapter 328 Florida Statutes except federally documented vessels owned
by the United States Government, a state of political subdivisions thereof, out of state
vessels which are registered in another state and used in this state for a period of less
than 90 days, vessels used on private ponds, (non-motorized vessels less than 16’) or
an amphibious vessel for which a title is issued by the Department of Highway Safety and
Motor Vehicles in the State of Florida.
When Must a Canoe be Registered?
Pursuant to section 327.25(1) Florida Statute, only canoes which are
propelled by motors must be registered.
What Must be done if I have a Documented Vessel?
All federally documented vessels which are relocated to this state and
are domiciled here for greater than 90 days must obtain a Florida registration. Documented
vessels are not required to be titled in the State of Florida.
