If you’re asking yourself “What do I need to sell my boat in Ontario?” then you’re probably going to need a few pointers. Let’s go over all the paperwork you’ll need to take care of so that you don’t have anything to worry about at the time of the sale.

What Do I Need to Sell My Boat in Ontario?
Anyone looking to part ways with their vessel has asked themselves the same thing: “What do I need to sell my boat in Ontario?” Of course, the answer has a few different components. Are you asking what is it that you logistically need or what you need administratively? Well, let’s take a look at all the paperwork that you need. This way, you won’t be that lost when you’re taking care of your sale.

Processing the Bill of Sale
One of the most important documents you need to file while in the process of selling a vessel will be the bill of sale since this will make the sale official in administrative terms and grant ownership to the new buyer. Similarly to the receipt you get at the store that can later be used as proof of purchase when requesting a return, the bill of sale will act as the binding agreement that from here on out proves that the buyer indeed purchased the vessel and is now responsible for it. Here at the National Vessel Registry Center, we can help you with the filing of the bill of sale to make sure that it meets all due requirements.

Transferring the Documentation
Once you have the bill of sale in order, it will be time to transfer the documentation, be it a registration certificate or a pleasure craft license. In both cases this has to be done by way of a transfer form, which you will find on our sidebar, ready for you to fill out and submit accordingly. This process will ensure that the documentation is properly transferred to the new owner and that it is no longer in your name as part of the Transport Canada vessel registry.
