Dear Fellow Boaters,
With a new year of boating comes a new year of fees. Here are some of the fees you may be paying this year.
New York State Boat Registrations
Boat registrations are issued for three years. There is a registration fee and a surcharge for boating safety. The fees and surcharges are calculated from the length of the boat as follows:
· Less than 16 feet - $22.50 registration fee and $3.75 surcharge ($26.25 total).
· 16 feet to less than 26 feet - $45.00 registration fee and $12.50 surcharge ($57.50 total).
· 26 feet or longer - $75.00 registration fee and $18.75 surcharge ($93.75 total).
