 Horta : Profile
On arrival yachts should berth alongside the reception quay (minimum depth 10 ft/3 m). The marina office is open 0800-1200, 1300-2000 (seven days a week in the high season April to June). The offices of immigration, maritime police, customs (Alfandega) and Guarda Nacional
Republicana are next to the marina office in the same building. The marina staff will inform captains of the order in which these officials must be visited, both on arrival and at departure. The marina office will assign a berth once clearance is completed. Yachts arriving after office hours should wait at the reception quay until the next morning.
On departure, one should first pay the marina fees, then take the receipt to the Guarda Nacional
Republicana and the Capitania for outward clearance.
It is forbidden for boats, local or visiting, to anchor at Porto Pim (south of
Horta) due to the optical fiber submarine cable laid there.
