Thanks for the nice report. We bought a Columbie 451 ds on Samos. Starts on a trip to Gibraltar d 1 July with a circumnavigation of the earth in mind. Have you declared and declared in each EULand or do you know how it goes?
We wish you both good luck in 2021 and look forward to good news again.

Hi Birger,
Congratulations on your new boat. It is a lovely boat that you will surely be happy with.
No special declarations and declarations must be made when you, as an EU citizen, call at another EU country.
Greece is special. Here, yachtsmen (regardless of nationality) are charged a fee for sailing in Greek waters. The fee is called Tepai and must be paid for the period the boat is used in Greek waters. If it is taken ashore, no tax must be paid and if it is stored in a marina, no tax must be paid. In the latter case, the boat's papers are deposited with the local port police.
Much has been written about how cumbersome it is to pay Tepai. But the tax can also be paid online. It's a lot easier. (if you do it right). We have spent a lot of time figuring out why the payment did not go through, Finally we found the solution. You can see it here Click here...
