Control Permit
A Control Permit suits a foreign-owned yacht on a private cruise. It lasts up to 12 months, or the length of the master's visa if shorter, and needs no duty or security. The yacht cannot be chartered or sold under it. Superyachts that arrive to charter are treated as commercial vessels. Check the rules for your passport.
