You can close the registry of the vessel and have it removed from the Canadian Register of Vessels. Typically, a vessel’s registry may be closed if you would rather get a pleasure craft license, if the vessel is sold to a foreign buyer or if the vessel is lost, wrecked or removed from service.

Please note that only vessels free of mortgages can be closed voluntarily. When a vessel’s registration is closed, its name becomes available for others to use.

Vessel Details
Reason for Deletion

Please provide reason for closing of the vessel's registration. Additional documents may need to be provided.

You will need to provide a copy of the bill of sale to the foreign buyer. Please email us a scanned copy of the bill of sale to info@vesselregistration.ca or use our downloader feature.

Deletion Certificate

A deletion certificate is optional. You may close a vessel's registration without obtaining a certificate of deletion of the registration. However, you may want to get a deletion certificate for your records. If you sell the vessel to a foreign buyer, they may need a deletion certificate in order to register the vessel outside of Canada.
