What we do
Lorrendraaier is a Netherlands-based specialist in yacht and vessel registration. We work for private owners who want their registration handled correctly and for maritime professionals who need a reliable partner for their clients.
We advise on flag state selection, process the full registration from first document to final certificate, and arrange Ship Station Licences alongside. Where the work requires fiscal or legal input, we refer to trusted specialists in our network rather than overstepping our own expertise.
Our process is certified to ISO 9001:2015, which means consistent quality, clear communication, and no surprises.

- Register pleasure craft, commercial yachts, and work boats

Why Lorrendraaier
Expert flag state advice
We know the practical realities of each European ship register, not just the rules, but how they work day to day. We help you choose the right flag for your situation, not just the popular one.
ISO 9001 certified process
Our quality management system is independently certified. That means consistent work, clear handovers, and nothing falling through the cracks, whether your registration is straightforward or complicated.
Direct phone access
When you call us, a person answers. No answering services, no ticket queues. If there is a deadline or an urgent situation, you will speak to someone who can actually help.
GDPR-compliant data handling
Vessel registration involves personal and financial data. We treat all information with strict confidentiality and comply fully with GDPR, no data is shared, sold, or used beyond what is necessary.
Honest about our scope
We do registration and related administration exceptionally well. Where a matter requires fiscal or legal expertise, we say so plainly and refer you to specialists we trust, rather than advising beyond our knowledge.
End-to-end support
From the first question about flag state options to the delivery of your Certificate of Registry and Ship Station Licence, we manage the whole process. You do not need to coordinate between multiple parties.
Which flag state suits your vessel?
Not every flag state is right for every owner. The answer depends on your nationality, where you sail, whether you plan to charter, and what you want to pay. Our flag state guides compare the most relevant options clearly, requirements, costs, rankings, and the documents you receive.
A selection of flag states we work with
We also work with other European registers, do get in touch if yours is not listed.
