Watercraft Registration
Registration Number
The watercraft registration number is assigned by the
Department of State. The owner must paint or permanently
attach the number on each side of the forward half
of the vessel as high above the water line as possible.
The number must contrast with the color of the background
so it is visible and legible. All letters and numbers
must be plain block characters at least three inches
high, reading from left to right. Place a hyphen
or leave space equivalent to the width of your letter “M” between
the letters and numbers.
Registration Decal
The three-year watercraft registration decals must
be attached to the forward half of the vessel on
the same level as the registration number. Place
each decal three inches to the right of the last
letter in the registration number, reading left
to right, on both sides of the vessel.
Documented Vessels
On a vessel documented by the U.S. Coast Guard, the
registration number does not have to be displayed.
However, one registration decal must be attached
to each side of the forward half of the vessel
as high about the water line as possible.
