🚨 LIVE Q&A: Gibraltar`s New EU Deal - What It Means for Yachting 🚨
📅 Tomorrow (Friday 13th June) at 12:00 noon CET
🎯 Topic: The game-changing UK-EU-Gibraltar agreement and its impact on yacht operations
The historic treaty announced this week will fundamentally alter how Gibraltar operates - ending its role as a "Schengen reset" destination and potentially affecting VAT-free fuel/services.
🎙️ Join our Gibraltar expert as we break down:
- End of the 90-day Schengen workaround
- New customs union implications
- What this means for provisioning
- Alternative strategies for yacht operations
- Timeline for implementation
Whether you`re a captain, owner, manager, or crew member - this affects your Mediterranean operations.
📺 JOIN THE LIVE SESSION: https://youtube.com/live/vVPBgZK602E
💬 Drop your questions below or bring them to the live session tomorrow
🔔 Set your reminders - this is essential viewing for anyone operating yachts in European waters
