Description
The Portuguese guest flag is used by foreign vessels visiting Portuguese ports and is part of international maritime etiquette along the Portuguese coast and in the Atlantic Ocean. The flag is flown to show respect for the host nation and contributes to the correct and clear use of the flag when entering Portuguese waters.
The flag is made of 100% polyester and is suitable for use in maritime environments, with good durability and low weight. The size is 30 × 19 cm, which is the standard format for guest flags and is suitable for both sailboats and motorboats. The Portuguese guest flag can be used as a stand-alone flag or as part of a flag game together with other countries’ flags, for example for longer voyages or international visits. The flag is sold either individually or as part of regional packages, depending on the variant.
