Cayman Islands Civil Ensign Flag
The Cayman Islands Civil Ensign is the official flag of the Merchant ships of Cayman Islands. The 20% of the vessels of more than 50 meters is registered in the Cayman Islands so that it has to flow the Merchant Cayman Flag. The merchant flag differs from the official Cayman flag for the red color used (pantone 186). The harbour for the Cayman is George Town.

Why Is the Cayman Islands a Preferred Choice for Yacht Registration Worldwide?

The Cayman Islands is a jurisdiction of choice for offshore vessel registration for many reasons, the most popular of which being the tax benefits. As a tax-neutral jurisdiction, yacht owners registered in the Cayman Islands can save thousands in fees related to taxes, registration, and VAT alone. The Cayman Islands also offers convenient ease of marine vessel access with three ports of registry and several marinas across the three islands.
Another benefit of registering vessels in the Cayman Islands is that they are considered British vessels and are therefore protected by the British Royal Navy. Furthermore, these vessels fall under the Category 1 British Registry within the Red Ensign Group. This is considered a first-class flag and one of the top flags in the world by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS). Vessels registered under CISR also benefit from its whitelist and low-risk status at all major ports worldwide, and with 15 global locations yacht owners are afforded 24/7 support. CISR-registered vessels can also participate in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) using the British status of their vessel.
Yacht owners registered in the Cayman Islands also benefit from considerably fewer inspections, less hassle, more support, and smoother sailing…no pun intended.
