The Cayman Islands is a leader for super-yacht and mega-vessel registration with their Category One British Registry. At Lainston, we liaise with the Maritime Authority of the Cayman Islands (MACI), ship builders, surveyors and others to assist yacht owners, brokers and managers with all aspects of Cayman yacht and ship registration.
Whether a vessel is under construction, bank financed with a mortgage, or needs a corporate ownership entity, Lainston has the team in place to ensure a smooth registration process. We work to establish ownership through offshore corporate entities such as exempted limited companies and individual ownership companies. We also assist in securing Cayman yacht names through the three ports of registry: George Town (Grand Cayman), Bloody Bay (Little Cayman) and The Creek (Cayman Brac). Other Lainston yacht solutions include radio licensing, crew payroll, transfers of ownership and certificate renewals.
Similarly, private jet owners and corporate aircraft management companies around the globe choose to register planes in the Cayman Islands for the many benefits the country provides. At Lainston, our experienced team handles the process of aircraft registration from start to finish. We do this by working with the Civil Aviation Authority of the Cayman Islands (CAACI) to submit registry applications, facilitating financial and due diligence requirements, managing on-site survey requirements and submitting ongoing maintenance documentation. Our incorporation services also enable the formation of Cayman Island companies to take ownership of aircraft.
