Legal Status of Yachts and Maritime Tourism

The book Legal Status of Yachts and Maritime Tourism, authored by Prof. Dr. Hacı Kara, provides a comprehensive examination of the legal framework governing yachts, yacht ownership and registration, yacht-related contracts, and maritime tourism.

The book addresses the legal definition and types of yachts, the legislation applicable to them, and the jurisdiction of courts in yacht-related disputes. It examines the registration of yachts in Turkish and foreign ship registries, the right to fly the Turkish flag, the legal status of marinas, the acquisition and loss of yacht ownership, yacht pledges, and ship and yacht mortgages.

The work also covers yacht construction, sale, charter, and berth agreements, together with the regulation of maritime tourism. Further topics include passport, visa, and residence permit requirements, the entry of yachts into Turkish ports, and navigation in Turkish territorial waters.

In addition, the book examines the legal status of yacht captains and other seafarers, including their employment contracts, working hours, remuneration, leave entitlements, and disputes arising under maritime labour law.

By bringing together the legal rules governing yachts and maritime tourism, Legal Status of Yachts and Maritime Tourism serves as an academic reference for legal practitioners, academics, law students, yacht operators, and professionals working in the maritime tourism sector.
