Marine

Marine vehicles are commonly put in the same category as RVs and automobiles because owners only need a valid driver’s license to be able to register, transfer and pilot one. OATA helps marine power sport dealers in the state of Florida register the marine power sport vehicles they sell, including those sold to out-of-state customers. 

Registering a Marine Vehicle

To legally use a marine power sport vehicle, the owner needs a valid title for the vehicle. Marine vehicle dealers can transfer registrations right from their offices. These transfers work the same as they do for automotive vehicles. Dealers can add a lien if there’s still money owed or remove a lien if the vehicle is paid off.

Additionally, the title can be printed by the owner or left electronic to prevent loss of the document. If they choose the electronic option, the copy is left electronically at the tax collector’s office and can be printed out when needed.

Keeping the Registration Up-to-Date

As the prices of marine power sports vehicles have decreased, the number of owners has increased substantially, leaving a higher demand for registration and transfers of marine titles. The registration of marine vehicles needs to be updated every year. This ensures that the vehicles meet the state’s compliance needs and are not stolen. Updating registration every year can prevent the sale or trade of any vehicles that have been fraudulently obtained.
