Boat License Sharjah

In Sharjah, all marine vessels must be duly registered and obtain a permit from the Sharjah Ports Authority before setting sail. For boat owners and operators of vessels registered in other Emirates but operating in Sharjah waters, a valid boating license is compulsory, whether for anchoring, fishing, or performing any water-related activities. Even if vessels are merely cruising in Sharjah waters, obtaining a permit is strongly advised. Any individual operating a private or commercial marine craft within Sharjah’s national waters must secure a boat driving license from the Sharjah Maritime Authority.
