Berth, season and winter storage
A berth afloat all year round is possible here, which is exactly what makes the season a question. Policies written for a season commonly pause over the winter months, in harbour and ashore alike. Anyone who leaves the boat in the water through the winter should check which months their own cover actually runs. At the pontoon what counts is what the conditions call a duty of care: lines of adequate strength, chafe protection, a working bilge pump and a boat that is not left unchecked for months. This is a small berth and usually without permanent supervision. Pleasant, and a disadvantage in a claim: with no harbour master there is no witness to when the damage happened or how the boat was made fast. The nearest berth, Port El Alia, is 5.7 kilometres away.
How exposed the berth lies
Each spoke shows how far the water is open in that direction, up to sixty kilometres. The highlighted spoke is the direction the sea runs in furthest from. Calculated from the coastline, not measured.
The nearest slipway is 20.6 kilometres to the south-east. Whether a fee applies is not recorded in the map data.
The nearest berths: Port El Alia, 5.7 kilometres to the south, Mahdia, 10.6 kilometres to the north and ميناء الصيد البحري بالمهدية, 12.3 kilometres to the north. 4 other berths are recorded within 25 kilometres.
What this berth means for your policy
Tunisia does not require liability cover for pleasure craft. Proof is asked for all the same, by the port authority and the national guard on arrival; without it things get awkward at the quay. Severe gales are rarer here than on the open coast, but the squalls of summer thunderstorms are violent and short. They hit the boat at the pontoon, not at sea: lines chafe through, covers tear, a neighbouring boat comes across. By the coastline the berth has no cover to the south-east: in that direction there is no land within sixty kilometres. It is also open to east-south-east and the east. In a gale from the south-east the sea runs in over the full distance, and the berth is then the most dangerous place for the boat.
Questions and answers
What owners ask about this berth
Which cruising range do I need for Marina ميناء الصيد البحري بسلقطة?
In the calculator this berth belongs to the cruising range North Africa (Tunisia, Morocco). The cruising range is the boundary within which a policy applies. Check the wording before you go beyond it: many policies name a narrower area than owners assume, and an extension has to be agreed before the passage, not after the claim.
Can I leave the boat afloat here over winter?
It is possible, but a policy written for a season commonly pauses over the winter months, whether the boat is sailing, lying in harbour or standing ashore. Anyone leaving the boat afloat needs cover that runs the whole year.
Does the harbour ask for proof of insurance?
It is not required, but the port authority and the national guard ask for it anyway. The paper that belongs on board is the International Certificate of Insurance for pleasure craft: it states the cover in a form that is understood across the bordering states.
