Have you bought a kayak and are you now in doubt on how to register in Portugal? Or are you just vacationing in Portugal and want to go fishing by kayak? We want to help you a little with this post.

We of the Galaxy Kayaks do not rest until the registration of your kayak is resolved. We will be in the whole process and any document you need.

The Portuguese rules are transparent, but the method of application is somewhat complex and each captaincy has different procedural forms and registry values ​​can even vary in each captaincy revolving around 90 and 120 euros.

We remember that only the kayaks to go fishing from the sea need to register in Portugal. For internal fishing in lakes, dams and rivers it is not necessary to register the kayak

Documents required for registration:

  • Invoice of the purchase of the kayak
  • Registration of conformity or technical data sheet (supplied by the manufacturer)
  • Realization of the application for registration (available in the Captaincy)

Some captaincies request the stamped invoice to confirm the payment. In the case of Galaxy Kayaks we only issue an invoice when the value is paid, therefore the invoice would already be the invoice. In some cases, when requested by the client according to the captaincy, we send the printed and signed invoice scanned by email for the purpose.

The majority of the captaincies only accept the technical sheet of the kayak, others request the document of registration of conformity and technical sheet. The compliance registration document can be accessed here. We also help in the filling of the document.

In the act of the entry of the papers for the registration of the Kayak, the inspection is marked and in certain Captaincies they have a list with pre-requisites of palamenta.

Palaeat of kayak needed:

  • Vest of Salvation (Approved by the EC)
  • Hand tabs (Only required outside the Bars)
  • Buzina / Corneta
  • Landfill (boats up to 5m)
  • bussola
  • First aid box (20 quick dressings, 1 7x4cm crepe ligature and lady pin)
  • Cast iron
  • Mooring and towing cable
  • Round and floating tip brush
  • Watertight laminate, with spare batteries

From the moment the inspection is carried out and everything is in conformity, we receive document of pleasure craft type 5.
