The boat registration / vignette / permit is obligatory. The fees must be paid before you set off into Croatian coastal waters for the first time. If you are staying overnight in a marina or a Croatian town harbour, the operators or local authorities may ask for proof of payment. During an inspection on the water, customs officials or the Kapetanija can see all the payment details in the centralised billing system and thus trace the payments made.
Today, the permit is still often referred to as a vignette or boat vignette.
Whereas in the past you received a sticker from the relevant harbour office after paying the fees, which was perforated to indicate the valid period, today only a receipt is issued. Payment is checked online via the Ministry’s central system during an inspection. The same applies to the payment of tourist tax for overnight stays on board.
