Sadly that's not the case. Going out by boat from the UK more often than not the French authorities are not bothered and just wave you through. Not always but probably four times out of five. Coming back is a different matter - the UK mob want the whole lot - not only passport presented but helmet etc off if you're on a bike and individual faces peering through the window one at a time if you're in a car to compare you with your photograph.
You'll then get the sniffer dogs growling at you while you're waiting for the ship to turn up and then the contents of your car turned out while they check your steering wheel for dynamite traces or drugs or whatever at the customs post. Welcome to the UK
