Two Rhode Island Questions to Settle Early

Can I submit a boat stored near Narragansett Bay or Newport Harbor?

You may submit it for individual review. A boat near Narragansett Bay may involve different questions than one near Point Judith or Mount Hope Bay. 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 Rhode Island ownership records should I gather?

Rhode Island owners should gather registration or documentation records, trailer paperwork, lien releases, mooring information, and yard or marina account details. Check out our boat donation paperwork guide for comprehensive record requirements. Do not sign a title, cancel storage or insurance, or release the boat on the strength of an inquiry alone.
