Taking Greek charter boats to Turkey

[Nickel]

Does anyone know of what regulations there are for taking charter boats from Greek waters into Turkish waters?

Thanks.

There's a good summary of the relevant regulations for taking foreign yachts into Turkey here:

However, all Greek charter agreements I've seen will not allow you to take the boat into Turkish waters. I know that TopYacht will charter you a UK owned yacht in Turkey and which you can take into Greek waters. They will arrange all the paperwork for you.

Chartered from Rhodes last year with Nautilus. There was no restriction on sailing in Turkish waters.

Chartered a boat from Rhodes last year through a Greek company and went over to Turkey for a week. No problem at all. Charter company wasnt bothered and Turkish waters are full of charter boats with a Greek ensign. Send me a pm if you want more info. (You can save sheds of cash if you charter locally)

Nautilus were the UK agents. Greek company was Kiriacoulis, who's Rhodes agent/manager, when asked if we could go to Turkey shrugged his shoulders and said "why not, but I can't think why you would want to". Very droll.
