The definitive guide to chartering your Lista Septima vessel

The definitive guide to chartering your Lista Septima boat Since 15 August 2025, under Royal Decree 186/2023 (Regulation on the Organisation of the Merchant Marine) and the July 2025 DGMM resolution, you can earn income from legal charters with your Lista Septima boat in the months you do not use it—without giving up it being “your boat for life”. You have a recreational boat on Lista Septima, and if we are honest, it sometimes spends more time tied up than sailing. You do not need to be a regulatory expert or run the bureaucracy on your own. In this guide we explain, calmly and in detail, how the whole process fits together and how Zarpar takes care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on the boat and on whoever enjoys it.
