<p>Negotiations on the future relationship between the EU and the UK are ongoing.
To ensure that citizens and businesses in the UK and across the EU can plan for life
after our withdrawal with confidence. We have agreed an implementation period that
will last for 21 months beginning on exit day until 31 December 2020. During the implementation
period, UK boats will have the same access to EU waters as they do now.</p><p>The
UK Government sees no reason why pleasure vessels used for recreational purposes 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 EU legislation,
and maritime transport is liberalised at the international level.</p><p>We understand
that other matters will be relevant to the owners of boats such as the right to the
land, dock and refuel and these will be covered by our negotiations on the future
relationship.</p><p> </p>
