Register Your Boat Name Now:
PROTECTION
We maintain a national registry of registered and documented vessels in the United States. When you’re a BNR Member, we will protect your special boat name.
CONVENIENCE
We’ll securely store your boat’s name, home port, dimensions, hull ID, state registration, and insurance details in one portal. You’ll have 24/7 access to this important information.
PEACE OF MIND
If a boating emergency occurs, all your vessel’s details are securely
stored in the BNR database. When time is of the essence, you can
quickly access this information and enable marine rescue to provide
assistance.
WHY BNR?
Boat Ownership is a Rewarding Experience
Spending time on the water means enjoying the fresh sea air with family and friends. Many boat owners also enjoy their vessel because it reflects their personal identity. Whether a powerboat, sailboat, or commercial vessel, each boat proudly displays a distinctive name that’s hand-picked by its owner.

WHAT OUR MEMBERS ARE SAYING
"What a terrific idea! Can’t imagine why this registry hadn’t happened years ago."
"I spent many months thinking about a name for my boat. I wanted it to be unique and solely mine. BNR gives me the opportunity to protect my boat’s name."
"The tips available on BNR are endless to help in naming your boat. It makes coming up with a personalized and EXCLUSIVE name easy."
"Maintaining a long family tradition was important when we named our boat and taking steps to protect the name and not have it copied was important to us. BNR helps us with that process."
"I sail in a "class" sailing club and the only thing that distinguishes my boat from the others is the name on the transom. I couldn’t wait to register my boat name with BNR to keep others in my class from getting the name first."
