Small boat laws + rules?

How would a foreigner ( EU citizen ) residing in Greece , go about getting a small leisure boat into Greece , legally , and then obtain the registration number / home port code letters for it ?

( It is an open fibreglass dinghy , about 4 metres long , a general purpose thing for leisure rowing / sailing / doing a little bit of fishing , maybe a small outboard motor , pretty much like a Barka )

What insurance would you need , by Greek law ?

What competence qualification would the skipper need , under Greek law ?

And can you tell me how much it would cost , ( approximately ) for the annual licenses , and what a typical small boat owner wold be looking to pay for harbour mooring fees ?

And are you restricted to a particular local area , or could you use it to travel ( obviously in short daytime stages in perfect weather ) further afield , say between nearby islands ?

    The length of the boat is the primary fact for costs, taxes, mooring fees, and so on.

    Then the horsepower of the engine. If not mistaken, the engines under 35 HP are without a licence of handling and for that you need to pass exams given in Limenarxeio.

    A must is the safety equipment that they will check on each inspection the GG is carrying on the boat especially during summer.

    Using it to move from one island to the other is not forbidden but it is wise to let people know of your intentions. For fishing you will be needing an amateur fishing licence .
