Does anyone know when Croatia will become part of the Schengen area it is still unclear? and how we stamp in and out of countries with passports it's going to be expensive, beaurocratic but I'm happy to cruise. Your thoughts and comments are most welcome.

I'm still trying to work out why Brexit was a good idea but that's the topic of another thread and has been done to death.

The RYA said in their webinar that you will have to check in and out of Schengen but the implementation was at national level. Their examples were that Germany already has a system whereby most marinas can do it but they were expecting cruisers to France to have to visit a Port of Entry when they arrive and leave.

Croatia is very rigorous about checking in and out, and how many people are on board. Not all the ports have check-in facilities from abroad, and not all ports have a harbourmaster (with whom you must immediately register any crew changes). As to when Croatia will be in Schengen, I'm not sure, but it's not more than a year or two down the line.
