Safety & compliance
What is the REG Yacht Code?
The REG Yacht Code is the safety and construction standard for large yachts registered with the Red Ensign Group flags, such as the UK, Cayman Islands and Isle of Man.
It replaced the earlier Large Commercial Yacht Code (LY3) and the Passenger Yacht Code. It covers construction, stability, fire safety, life-saving equipment, manning and safety management for yachts in commercial use, with parts for yachts below and above 500 gross tonnage (UK government).
Other flags publish their own yacht codes, often closely based on it.
