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. Shore power is available, and with it the most common cause of fire at a pontoon: a charger and a battery left working unattended over the winter. Fire is covered in any tariff; a fire traced to a demonstrably improper installation is not. The nearest berth, Λεμεσός Παλιό Λιμάνι, is 12.1 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 berths: Λεμεσός Παλιό Λιμάνι, 12.1 kilometres to the west, Limassol Marina, 12.6 kilometres to the west and Zygi Marina, 15.9 kilometres to the east. 3 other berths are recorded within 25 kilometres.
What this berth means for your policy
Cyprus does not require liability cover for private pleasure craft. The marinas in Limassol, Larnaca and Paphos require proof through their berthing terms, for the whole time the boat is there. Anyone going on to Greece falls under the Greek requirement. 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 south-south-west: in that direction there is no land within sixty kilometres. It is also open to the south and south-south-east. In a gale from south-south-west 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 St Raphael Marina?
In the calculator this berth belongs to the cruising range Malta and Cyprus. 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?
Not by law, but yes through the marinas’ berthing terms. 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.
