But not for tourism. They're designed as a step towards permanent residency.
The NLV is essentially just a long stay visa from what I can see on the Spanish government website.
Only if you can prove you're no longer employed and have a large enough income. It's not applicable for general tourism.
If you're boating for months at a time I think it's safe to say you're not employed and do have sufficient funds. If you're working get a work visa or digital nomad where available and pay your taxes. Obviously there are terms to the visa, but the visa does exist and the same is true of Italy according to the CA site. I didn't bother to look at the Italian government website to check but can only assume it's correct.

Quite appropriate, follow the route of the Vikings. In Constantinople the "Rus" were literally "those who row" having come down the river.There is another option, as detailed by Tristan Jones in his (totally truthful
The Improbable Voyage is the astonishing account of Tristan Jones' 2,307 mile voyage across Europe in Outward Leg. Continuing his round-the-world journey, Tristan traveled from the North Sea to the Black Sea via the rivers Rhine and Danube. Tristan welcomed each difficulty as a challenge to be met and overcome. Battling ice and cold, life-threatening rapids and narrow defiles, German bureaucrats and Romanian frontier police, Tristan made his way through eight countries and emerged triumphant, if battered, bruised and penniless, at the Black Sea. Tristan gives us a vivid glimpse of the quality of life along Europe's oldest water routes and behind the Iron Curtain.
Of course, geopolitics have changed a bit (some better, some worse) since then but, sounds like the OP is up for a challenge.
Do what a mate of mine and Ruby Rose 2 did. Look up shipping them on a freighter. Mate put a power boat on a freighter near London, met the freighter in Gib and they unloaded it. RR2 did Thailand to Turkey the same.It was mainly the quality of the boats and the selling price. I had heard that Norwegian/Swedish boats have good reliability and they are not abused as many are in the Med, with long sailing seasons and chartering.
Indeed the boat we found is lovely, one (engineer) owner that had her for ages, took good care of her.
TBH, I didn't realize that the whole ordeal would be so difficult. Being novice has that effect as well
Too much draft (1.7m) and still has to solve the Schengen issue. However he might be able to get a French tourist visa and remove the keel.
their brand new boat did end up covered in rust though, £10k bill
Get married to an EU citizen, problem solved.
There's another option. But if I mention it, I would get banned (again)
I don't believe this poster is Turkish, as claimed. A Turk with any interest in boating, would know the rules about importing a second hand boat. I'd be happy to find out I'm wrong, of course.
He says he's a UK citizen living in Turkey not that he's Turkish but your point is a valid one and at the very least someone embarking on such a venture would surely have researched most of the questions he has been asking and concluded that it was too difficult with his level of experience and budget.
