2025/26 Vessel Registration Information
All vessels must be registered to be on the Cam, regardless of size or type. The vessel registration fee information will provide the fees for the vessel size and type. Please see the links below for essential information.
If you are registering your vessel for use on the Cam, please use the tab or link below to the registration application page. It is important that we hold the most up to date information on boat ownership, if you are selling or buying a boat that is registered on the Cam, please use the link below to download the change of ownership form.
If you are visiting the Cam, please note that you will also need to register, for visits less than 90 days purchasing the Anglian Pass via the link below is the most expedient method of registering if you own a powered boat. If you are on the Cam longer than 90 days, you will be required to obtain an annual Conservancy registration.
If you are using a paddle craft, such as a Stand-up paddle board, a canoe or a kayak it may be more advantageous for you to become a member of Paddle UK which will give you access to additional waterways in the UK. Personal membership with Paddle UK provides valid registration to use the Cam provided that your membership number is clearly marked on your vessel. Please use the link below to find out more.
