Two New Jersey Questions to Settle Early

Can I submit a boat stored near Barnegat Bay or Raritan Bay?

You may submit it for individual review. A boat near Barnegat Bay may involve different questions than one near the Jersey Shore or Cape May Harbor. Give the exact marina, yard, mooring, residence, or storage address; describe whether the boat is afloat, blocked, lifted, or trailered; and disclose access limits, balances, liens, and facility deadlines.

Which New Jersey ownership records should I gather?

New Jersey owners should include title and registration records, trailer title or registration, lien releases, Coast Guard documentation, and marina or yard account details. See our boat donation paperwork checklist for complete transfer guidelines. Do not sign a title, cancel storage or insurance, or release the boat on the strength of an inquiry alone.
