| May 31, 2016 at 14:17 | comment | added | Relaxed | The boating site I quoted in my answer also bears this out in the case of Sweden. I can imagine it's a little more complicated for some Greek islands but that's not the general rule. | |
| May 31, 2016 at 14:16 | comment | added | Relaxed | But most importantly, my reading is that it doesn't matter. The text just implies the Swedes can ask and/or have to dedicate resources to this, not that boat owners have to volunteer anything and certainly not that they have to enter through a designated harbour or border crossing point (the second paragraph where the notion of "immediate vicinity" enters into consideration does not mention entering through a specific port and article 4 also explicitly states this is not always required). | |
| May 31, 2016 at 14:15 | comment | added | Relaxed | @Tor-EinarJarnbjo You could perhaps make an argument for Russia (although even that is far fetched) but the UK or Ireland are not in the immediate vicinity of Gotland under any reasonable interpretation and they do not seem to present a risk of illegal immigration (which is the actual condition mentioned in the text). | |
| May 31, 2016 at 12:43 | comment | added | Tor-Einar Jarnbjo | @Relaxed Yes, as I wrote: the practical implementation of the border and immigration controls is very different from country to country. I am not sure if there is a guideline on how to interpret the 'immediate vicinity' mentioned in the regulation's annex, but the Swedish coast is easily within reach from Russia, Norway or UK/Ireland (in which case either customs or immigration control is required) and when you reach Swedish waters around Gotland, there is no way for the coast guard to guess your departure harbour unless you report to them. | |

| May 31, 2016 at 10:40 | comment | added | nsn | You may want to report to authorities once you arrive to Sweeden. I don't know in Sweeden but in other ports where I've been there can be a border patrol office or they pass by every now and then to check new boats. The more international traffic they get the most common this is. So, in summary, it's a good idea to report. If nothing is needed it will be fine anyway. Enjoy!! I already envy you :) | |

| May 30, 2016 at 16:11 | comment | added | Aleksandro M Granda | @jcaron, may be there is any definition problem, but from wikipedia: International waters can be contrasted with internal waters, territorial waters and exclusive economic zones. We will not leave the exclusive economic zone (200 nm). | |
| May 30, 2016 at 16:11 | comment | added | Tor-Einar Jarnbjo | @phoog It is irrelevant if you have been in international waters, as the Schengen countries' sea borders are generally considered external borders (Regulation (EC) No 562/2006, Article 2). There are exceptions for sea ports serving regular ferry traffic, but on a private native vessel, you are at least in theory subject to immigration control even when travelling directly between two Schengen countries. The practical implementation of the immigration control is very different from country to country and I cannot find any current information about the situation in Sweden. | |
| May 30, 2016 at 15:55 | comment | added | jcaron | International waters cover the area beyond the territorial waters. So if you leave the territorial waters, you enter International waters. | |
| May 30, 2016 at 15:27 | comment | added | Aleksandro M Granda | @phoog, if you are talking about IW according to the wikipedia, then NO. Baltic sea is not so wide :) But we will leave territorial waters and contiguous zone. | |
| May 30, 2016 at 14:37 | comment | added | phoog | Will you be entering international waters? | |
