Cruising area · Black Sea
Batumi
The harbour sits on an open coast below the Caucasus, with a small marina and little infrastructure for pleasure craft. Distances to the nearest harbours are long, and the political situation in the northern Black Sea narrows the route choice further. Anyone going there should know the current restricted areas.

Berths, season and winter storage
The season is May to September and berths are inexpensive. Repair options for yachts are limited; spare parts generally have to be imported, which costs time and duty. For longer stays the marina in Batumi is the only dependable place.
What this means for your policy
Georgia lies outside the common cruising ranges and needs an express agreement, usually a worldwide range. Also check whether your policy contains war or restricted area clauses that could apply to the Black Sea.
