Hi all,
I have a Jeanneau Merry Fisher 805 which I purchased in Spain but she is now registered on the SSR and deregistered from Spain, so a British vessel.
I don't hold RYA qualifications but I do hold the Spanish P.E.R which allows me to use boats up to 24m in length, night/day and up to 12m from the coastline.
I am aware that in the UK you don't actually legally NEED a licence and my qualification is internationally recognised. I have read the MCA guidance (https://assets.publishing.service.g...49/MGN_599_on_Pleasure_Vessel_Regulations.pdf) and it states that as she is under 80GT my boat is exempt from Merchant certification.
Will I encounter any issues bringing a UK flagged boat via North Spain, French Coast and across the channel by having a Spanish licence?
Has anyone done a trip on a motor boat from Spain to the UK?
