ABSTRACT OF TITLE: USCG file history of a documented boat's ownership and lien information.

USCG DOCUMENTATION: Included in Full Settlement

FULL SETTLEMENT SERVICE: BoatUS will coordinate the transaction between buyer and seller. This includes lien searches, processing seller's loan payoffs, preparing necessary papers for ownership transfer, file for USCG documentation and hold deposits(if requested).

After a buyer or seller has requested our service, we will fax, e-mail or phone the parties involved and initiate the closing process by requesting:

  • Seller's Closing Worksheet
  • Purchase agreement (we have blank forms if needed)
  • Seller's ownership papers
  • Insurance coverage for buyer
  • Finance Application (if needed)
Upon receipt of the above information we will:
  • Verify seller's ownership information
  • Obtain loan payoff information
  • Hold deposit check (if requested)

Time necessary for your boat closing will be determined by type of ownership being transferred and BoatUS office scheduling. Please contact us ASAP, especially during the boating season. After careful review of documents we will prepare:

  • Bills of sale
  • Satisfaction of Mortgages
  • USCG documentation papers
  • Power of Attorney (if necessary)
  • Papers necessary for seller's current loan payoff Issue USCG marking instructions to new ownerShip's Preferred Mortgage (if necessary)
  • Instructions for final payment to seller

After documents for the seller are reviewed and the buyer's check is received and reviewed, we will then direct payoff to the bank/seller. If requested we will file USCG documentation; otherwise all original documents will be forwarded to the new owner.


To initiate your BoatUS Settlement Service complete the worksheet and email or fax to our office. One of our staff will contact you within 24 hours during regular business hours Monday - Friday.
