You may search Coast Guard Documented Vessels by their names, Hull Identification Numbers or Official Numbers via the CGMIX Coast Guard Port State Information Exchange Database.

https://cgmix.uscg.mil/psix/psixsearch.aspx

The search will reveal the Vessel Information (Vessel Name, Official Number, Hull Identification Number, Flag, etc.) the Vessel Particulars (dimensions), Service Information, Tonnage Information and Vessel Documents and Certifications, including the issuance and expiration of the current Certificate of Documentation.

You will not find Personal Identifiable Information (PII) such as the Managing Owner’s name and address on any public database. This information has been removed from public access as of 2018.

If you wish to find the Managing Owner, complete ownership history and a record of all liens/encumbrances of a Documented vessel, you may request an official USCG Abstract of Title via the link below. This generally takes 2-3 business days to produce by the National Vessel Documentation Center. The associated fee for this report is $75.

Additionally, any member of the public can request a Certified Copy of the Certificate of Documentation for any US Coast Guard Documented Vessel. This will provide the Managing Owner name and address, along with pertinent vessel endorsement information. You may proceed to the webform application via the link below.
