<p>We have now agreed in principle a draft Withdrawal Agreement with the other 27
EU nations. To ensure that citizens and businesses in the UK and across the EU can
plan for life after our withdrawal with confidence, this sets out the terms of an
implementation period during which EU citizens and UK nationals will be able to sail
into EU waters as they do now.</p><p>The UK Government sees no reason why UK boaters
should see any change as a result of the UK’s exit from the EU. For the most part,
it is the rules and regulations of coastal states that apply rather than visas or
EU legislation, and maritime transport is liberalised at the international level.</p><p>The
Political Declaration on the Framework for the Future Relationship between the EU
and the UK Government is clear that connectivity in the maritime transport sector
will be underpinned by the international legal framework. The future relationship
should also facilitate cooperation on maritime safety and security.</p>
