Warning: stopovers in a port and landings on land must be done in compliance with land measures, and therefore within a radius of 100 km from your home. As the land and sea isochrones are not necessarily identical, we invite you to be vigilant and to make sure that you respect the regulations in force.
3 - Crew
The number of passengers on board is limited to 10 people maximum.
Travelling on land
1 - In France
From May 11, it will be possible to go out freely in the street without a certificate. However, a limit of 100 km as the crow flies around the place of residence is imposed. A proof of residence will be necessary to circulate in this radius.
Beyond this perimeter, trips must be made for the sole reason of a compelling need (assistance to a vulnerable person, death of a relative, etc.) and be accompanied by a certificate. We are not authorized to provide you with a travel certificate, so we leave this point to your discretion.
2 - Abroad
Restrictions at France's borders with European countries (European Union, SHENGEN area, United Kingdom) will be extended until at least June 15.
In order to cross borders with neighboring European countries, certain exemptions will be made possible, such as those concerning the custody, visit or schooling of a child or a compelling economic reason. Travelling to visit one's pleasure boat will not be considered as compelling by the authorities.
The borders with non-European countries will remain closed until further notice.
