hi you need
SSR if a british boat about 30 pound
3rd party insur ?
embarcation pemit from dept of agriculture tortosa about 12 euro
fishing permit  15 euro

[quote author=Nigel link=1199808094/0#2 date=1254250197]Does this also apply for the sea?
If the boat is on the SSR, do you need anything else? licence etc?

Someone has just been fined today with a jet ski, which is SSR, but he did not have a Spanish licence so was fined 600 euros.  

Anyone know the rules?

Hi Nigel,
My first post.

As I understand things. If the boat is SSR and he has the correct  insurance and RYA qualifications, changed to ICC,s , he should be legal.  
I'm not sure if there is a time limit for boats, like cars, where you have to matriculate.

In the past I've been in touch with the RYA legal Dept. About their qualifications not being accepted in Spain,(using them on a Spanish flagged vessel) but they were less than helpful.

There is some good info on the "Angloinfo" site, about boating in Spain can't remember were though, but a trawl should be fruitful.

The ICC stands for International Certificate of Competence. It is issued by the RYA. In my case I had to send copies of my RYA qualifications to them with a passport photo.  The ICC lists (like a driving licence) what vessels it is valid for. It has a date of issue and an expiry date. On the back it says, "The holder of this document has successfully passed the tests necessary to demonstrate his/her competence to operate pleasure craft", and is translated into a number of languages.

I think the RYA qualifications are fine while you are on holiday, or you are non resident but when you become resident, you must hold Spanish qualifications for certain sizes/types of boat.

One day we  will be in the EU 

If your friend is a member of the RYA, he could contact them?

It would be interesting to hear what the sailing school in Alicante has to say?

I was thinking of bringing my jetski  (now sold) with me to Spain, this is how I found out about the problems.

What do you need for a LiLo I'm sure they have rules and a fine for those as well

Surely a current licence would suffice.....!!!

Hi Hazelnut,
The ICC's that the RYA issue are only for pleasure boat use.

Have a look at the Angloinfo site, Sailing & boating section. There is a fair bit of info there.

Sorry, lilo needs 10m of chain, offshore flares and VHF radio 

dont forget the green light on the left and the red one on the right, or is it the other way around.....hey and i am qualified as a day skipper???????
