A quick update on
current experience with
Tunisia.
We arrived a few days ago in Monastir.
We tied up at the
fuel dock, and had the police and capitianaire drop by in about 15 minutes with no
radio call or request. We were pretty tired from the
passage and they let us unwind before moving us to a temp moorage.
Everyone on board had two vaccinations. I understand if you do not have the two it is on-boat quarantine for 10+ days, though we never had a confirmation on this.
Once having a successful PCR test you can leave the
boat. The capitianaire arranged this for us. We had the tests in about 2 hours, with results back in a further 4 - so really quickly. We were provided multiple copies of the PCR tests that we needed for immigration. Tests were 60 EU each. Not sure if we could have negotiated this but we were so tired we did not care.
In Monastir the police, immigration,
customs, etc are all with a few feet of each other and they are totally set up for incoming yachts. The capitainaire helped coordinate everything including required
photo copies and all the details that otherwise might have been a pain.
A full team came on board to inspect the
boat and sign off the
equipment list. They made sure we had
dinghy motor, TVs, microwave, spares, etc all listed. The
radio equipment was listed on my radio
license but they did not seem interested in that. Drones (which we don't have) were a specific interest.
No backsheesh or issues.
Fees 5 dinar, so about 2 EU. All cleared through same day.
Nothing but good things to say about how everything was handled.
Friendly and helpful. A good experience.
