 English Harbour : Profile
Yachts should anchor in the bay (Freeman's Harbour) and hoist the Q flag. The captain only should go ashore with all documents to clear. All offices are located in the old Officers' Quarters building, where customs, immigration and the Park department have to be visited, open 0800-1600 daily. After hours, the crew must remain on board until clearance can be completed. On departure from English Harbour, harbour fees must be paid at the Paymaster to collect the port clearance certificate. This should then be presented to the immigration officer, with the ship's papers and passports.
