Vessel registration fees are computed based on the length of the vessel. The 12 month registration
period for vessels begins the first day of the owner’s birth month. Company-owned vessels use the
month of June. To determine the number of months required (the maximum is 27 months), start with
the month the vessel is being registered in Florida and count through the month PRIOR to the owner’s birth month.
