Step 1: husband buys a new cell phone charger
Step 2: husband locates captain to move boat (referrals provided by the marina doing the work)
Step 3: hired captain assesses boat’s suitability to be moved under own power. Other options to move boat assessed as needed.
Step 4: boat gets fixed and you’re on your way.

Not in Croatia (maybe other EU country)
1. king of all customer(user) service(insurance,trade company)
is law -LAW ON OBLIGATORY RELATIONS- this is all
an insurance company must compline or leave country.
2. Insurance companies don't have licenses for checking sailing's license, alcohol checks and similar. this is the only job of police and Harbour Master's Office.
3. no one can unsworn the permit issued by the Harbor Master's Office except the Harbor Master's Office itself. Such suspicions are rejected by the court as illegal objections and exceptionally if there is a suspicion of forgery, the verification of data is requested in writing from the Harbor Master's Office. Default interest is charged to the insurance company from the day of damage to the day of payment.
4 If the vessel is CAT 1 registered, the whole world. The insurance policy must cover it. In addition to war zones, the piracy zone issued by Loyds in its publications as War risk zone extended due to piracy threat and similar

That's cool and all but they are in the US, and their insurance has a rider that says they will deny coverage if they take the boat out without a licensed captain (or other experienced owner) on board.

This is very common and I had something similar when I bought a boat with zero experience, the rider was lifted after I'd done a few courses and an hour or two docking practice with a teacher.

Trying to rules lawyer an insurance company is never going to work out well.

You do not understand. If the boat owner so much as moves the boat one boat length without complying with the stipulations on the insurance he is not covered. A 49 ft sailboat is a considerable investment to most of us. Why risk the value for the cost of a captain for one day.

[captsundancer]

If the boat has a tender with a 10 horse or bigger motor it's no big deal. If you can't find anybody else to help you with it give me a call I'll help you resolve it. Captain Steve 305-371-7936

Also in Croatia, you need a license for everything with a motor and bigger of 299 cm.
You can sail without a license. For example, USA citizen don't need sailing license for sail boat in territorial sea in USA,but if American want sail in Croatia( and most EU countries except France, Germany some class vessels) need a license for that vessel and location .

[Tanqueray]

It never ceases to amaze me how people with no experience end up with a 50-foot boat, and end up in some sort of trouble!

My wife says I am jealous….and she is right. To the OP…I am a Hoosier too.

If the OP had captains lined up to help them move the boat down to Florida, why can’t they use one of those to move the boat to the marina for repairs?

If it is really 15 miles, then the captain who was lined up to move the boat from the repairing marina should be available to move it the 15miles…right?

I do hope they get things sorted out and get the boat where they want it…iAM jealous

This is nonsense

An insurance company is not under any obligation in the EU to extend any particular type of coverage. It can and regularly does insert restrictions into policies including restrictions on sailing area , a requirement for particular certification or a restriction until certain certification has been acquired or experience levels. This is common stuff. Lying to your insurance company WILL invalid your policy, end of story.

No licences needed in Ireland for any size of boat defined as a private leisure vessel irrespective of size. No registration needed either. Ireland being a Eu member state

With the exception of some boats used on the inland waterways, there is no legal requirement to register boats based or used for recreational purposes in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland and associated territorial waters. However, if your plan to use your vessel overseas, it is required to register. There is a number of different registers available to boat owners in Ireland

GUIDANCE NOTES ON THE REGISTRATION OF IRISH SHIPS

INTRODUCTION
The Department of Transport is the national authority with responsibility for the Registration of Irish ships. The Mercantile Marine Act, 1955, as amended by the Merchant Shipping (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act, 1998, and Sea-Fisheries and Maritime Jurisdiction Act, 2006, lays down the legal provisions for ship registration and provides for the national character, ownership and registry of Irish ships, for the mortgage, sale, transfer and measurement of tonnage of such ships and other connected matters.

What ships must be registered?

All ships (i.e. a vessel used in navigation and not propelled by oars) wholly owned by an Irish citizen or an Irish body corporate, other than those to which exemptions apply (see below).

What ships are exempt from the obligation to register?
The following categories are exempt from the obligation to register, but their owners may opt to do so:
• Ships under 15 net register tons burden, provided they are used only on the rivers, canals, lakes or coasts of Ireland, Great Britain, the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man, or within the territorial waters off their coasts;
• Ships acquired before the passing of the Mercantile Marine Act in 1955;
• Ships where the Minister has consented to their registration under the laws of another country;
• Ships owned by Irish citizens not ordinarily resident within the State;
• Sea-fishing boats of less than 15 metres in length overall and required to be registered in the Register of Fishing Boats.

What are the consequences of non-registry?
A ship which is required to register as an Irish Ship, but does not so register:
• Is not entitled to any of the benefits, privileges, advantages or protection usually enjoyed by an Irish ship;
• May not use the proper national colours or assume national character;
• Will be dealt with in the same way as an Irish-registered ship in relation to:
- the payment of dues,
- liability to fines and forfeiture, and
- The punishment of offences committed on board such ship.
• May be detained by Officers of Customs & Excise until the Certificate of Registry of the ship is produced.

As to inland waterways of Ireland:
