    Q Do I need to arrive at a port of entry if sailing from the UK to France?

    When I sail from the UK to France for the weekend do I have to go to a port of entry or can I go to a small harbour? Steve Sarabande

Most Schengen countries have yet to define their ports of entry and entry procedures for UK arrivals. There are some indications that in France, harbour masters may be able to report arrivals by telephone. The Cruising Association is monitoring the situation and encouraging this simplified approach through our local representatives.
