Greek authorities have drafted new legislation in the way they charge a tax on all boats in their waters – and again the CA is again working with them to introduce a fair system for all.
The Greek Government brought out the new TPP (Cruising) tax 18 months ago which imposed a new duty on all private and commercial craft using Greek waters – but the system of paying the tax was never properly introduced.

Henri Lloyd stock clearance on CA stand at Beaulieu boat jumble this Sunday
The biggest social event of the sailing year takes place this weekend – Beaulieu boat jumble.
And if you go along to the Cruising association stand – R221 and R222 – you can buy Henri Lloyd stock clearance at vastly reduced prices. £145 for an Ocean Explorer jacket for instance. Or a coastal foul weather jacket for just £75 – down from £210.
Yachting Monthly asked the CA to assist with a difficult question from a reader.
The question asks about the right a marina has to force its berth holders to use its recommended broker when selling a boat. The CA has investigated the situation and found out that the berth holder has a right to fight the contract.
The CA has recently issues two press releases about Seaplane services which may be starting soon. Boat owners have expressed concern about the impact of these services. They are not a common site in the UK. See below for both press releases.
