Out-of-state registration certificates and numbers for vessels owned by military personnel on active duty in Florida are valid in Florida until their expiration date. Then they must be registered and titled in Florida in order to be operated on state waters.
Yes. All vessels operated on Florida waters must have a registration officially assigned to it and be displayed on the vessel. The purchaser of a vessel has 30 days in which to apply for registration and title. During this 30-day grace period, the owner is required to have aboard the vessel a bill of sale with proof of the date of purchase. Florida recognizes valid registration certificates and numbers issued to visiting boaters for a period of 90 days. An owner who intends to use a vessel in Florida longer than 90 days, must register it. However, the out-of-state registration number may be retained if the owner plans to return to his home state within a reasonable period of time.
To register your vessel, visit your local tax collector's office with proof of ownership and identification. Fees vary based on vessel type and size; check with your local office for specifics.
Owners have 30 days from the date of purchase to register their vessel in Florida.
If your vessel is registered in another state and will be used temporarily in Florida for less than 90 days, registration is typically not required.
Non-motorized vessels less than 16 feet, such as canoes or kayaks, are generally not required to be registered or titled in Florida.
For information on vessel safety equipment requirements, contact the U.S. Coast Guard or the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).
A certificate of title proves ownership and is required for selling, transferring, or registering your vessel in Florida.

While most of the work performed in this category may require a state license, there are some tasks which do not necessitate a license such as: • Pressure Washing • Small Appliance Repair • Carpet Installation • Vinyl Flooring Installation.
