 Formalities For Private Yacht  berthed in Marmaris

If you are the owner or the captain of a yacht:   Upon your arrival in Marmaris you should obtain a transit log  and complete the check-in formalities . Please ask Netsel Reception where you may purchase the transit log in town.  You  can do check-in formalities yourself or have it done by a professional agent . All  the  required  information  concerning  the  yacht , yachtsmen , crew, intended  route ,  passport numbers , inventory list and any other obligatory matters must be entered on the transit log.  

What is a transit log?

 

The transit log  is a set of forms used as a declaration.            

- When a yacht checks into or checks out of the list of a country

- When there is any change of crew in the list  of yachtsmen or in the inventory list, or  cruising grounds.  

- When you leave the yacht into custom bond

- As a permission to sail in Turkish waters (For further information you can read the explanations on the first  page.)

If  you want to leave Turkey without your boat :

 

  If  you want to leave your boat in Turkey whilst you leave the country , you have to place  your boat  in custom bond. For further information or for documentation , please apply to the reception in Netsel Marina office one day before your departure, with your passport and transit log, and the  forms filled in clearly. One of these forms is the boat’s inventory.  All expensive and portable articles which you will leave on board should be noted on the inventory form..It is better to take these forms in advance and fill them in on board by checking everything, especially the engine serial numbers that should be checked from  the engine (not  taken from the registration documents). If you can not find the same number you can write a number that can be seen on the main part of the engine such as the  block number.  

** Once the boat is bonded, none of the articles in the inventory list can be removed from the boat  until the boat is released from bond. **
