Documents and Currency to Bring on a Sailing Trip

When sailing internationally there are some essential documents you will need. You will of course need your passport or ID card (EU member countries). If you are from a non-EU country you should check with your consulate as to whether you need to apply for a visa.

Its also important to remember that you should also bring your sailing certificates as they are sometimes requested by the Port Police. Also required are your personal holiday insurance documents, and, if you are from a European Union member country, the EU medical card should be included in your hand luggage.

When it comes to currency, its recommended that you bring a combination of cash and traveller’s cheques together with your credit cards. Most of the time it is better to buy the countries currency before you leave. You can use bank ATM cash machines in most places to obtain money so long as your bank card operates while abroad.
