"sailing/navigation permit"
Explanation:
"titre de navigation" is a document certifying registration of a vessel with the French Maritime Authorities for vessels with GRT of more than 2 Tnx.

"acte de francisation" is a document which certifies boat's identity and fundamental characteristics. It's synonymous with "certificat d'immatriculation" but not with "titre de navigation".

Back to the question in hand :
suggested rendering ? WHether you opt for "permit, licence or certificate", be careful not to confuse it with the "acte de francisation/cert d'immatric" which can be transalted by "certificate of registry" or similar.

Navigation permit


Explanation:
May be combined with the Certificate of Registry (acte de francisation) and the two (French) terms are therefore sometimes treated as interchangeable.
