Procedure for Registering Boat. AUH

[oilydan]

Suppose I do buy this tub, what do I need to do to get it registered?

There is a thread on this somewhere - someone did it last year and needed a little wasta to move things forward.

Does anybody know the detailed procedure how to register a boat in Abu Dhabi?
I found a very good webpage http://www.kadri.org/boatregistration.htm which explained the registration for Dubai. But because I have the residence visa from Abu Dhabi, where I work, I can't register the boat in Dubai, even if it will be in a berth in Dubai. What about the transponder? Do I have to sail to Abu Dhabi to get it installed by the coast guard there? How long does the process take?

I have a visa from AUH and live in Dubai.

Much easier to sort out in AUH, after reading several websites on the procedures in DXB! Most boats in AUH already have the transponder fitted as they have been running them longer there. It's a new development in DXB.

Yes, you will need to take the boat to AUH port.
