If you have a UK commercial licence to fish then you can apply for an Isle of Man licence. Boats of 10 metres and under have 2-year licences, which run July to June. Boats that are more than 10 metres have licences issued annually, January to December, and you must make a new application each year that you wish to fish.

If you want to apply for an Isle of Man licence you should complete an application form and submit it to the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry ( click here for address).
