Sailing to other countries?

Question

Lets say if I wanted to take a vacation and were to sail on a personal yacht, from US to other countries, what are the proper papers I would need to dock in another country?

Answer 1

On top of your own personal papers (ie passport) you will also need a ream of vessels paperwork, which depending on the country will include any or all of the following:- the yachts registration papers, log book, insurance, customs declarations, health declarations, manifests, crew lists etc etc. I would suggest contacting a shipping agent in your intended port of entry to the country and ask them what specifically you will need.

Answer 2

Best bet is to check with the countries you plan to visit. Generally any certificates of seamanship, insurance etc should be brought.
