carpet for visiting charter yachts and has made entrance rather tricky – although the welcome is undoubtedly getting warmer.
Bea from Evolution takes the issue of crew clearance in and out of Spain as an example, “There are different protocols depending on whether the previous or next port of call is within or outside of the EU. And, even though all EU customs zones have much the same rulebook, there are different interpretations - there are even some variations from local immigration offices depending on the port.”
Krisjanis Lamberts from Iberian Yacht Solutions adds a warning not to anchor on the protected poseidonia seagrass, “Instructions have been given to local authorities to strictly control this and the fines might be severe.”
Christiane, who worked for shipbuilders Lürssen for seven years before setting up Lunautica in 1996, says, “Germany probably asks for the most comprehensive documentation, including a full inventory of all high taxable goods on board as well as weapon and art declarations and cash declarations for any amount equal or above 10,000 euros.” One suspects that Germany isn’t alone.
Another facet that unites all these hand holding agents is that they are fiercely proud and protective of the territories they oversee – as you’ll gather from these ‘elevator pitches’. Championing Montenegro is Raki, “It may be a small country but we have a very nice coast with lovely beaches
while restaurants and nightlife are at the high end. Montenegro occupies a convenient geographical position between Greece, Italy and Croatia making it a superb embarkation point for charters. Porto Montenegro is one of the best marinas in the Mediterranean and we have very friendly laws for yachts, including duty-free fuel.”
