 Djibouti : Profile
Clearance must be done first with the port captain and then with immigration. Immigration may wish to keep passports until departure, and issue shore passes, but will release passports if for example wishing to obtain an Egyptian visa here. Immigration must be visited on departure.
The Yacht Club of Djibouti has now been closed. If there is space available,
visiting yachts are docked on the floating pontoons in front of the former
yacht club building. Former yacht club members have formed a new association
that is attempting to build a proper marina in the same area, but the
project may not come to fruition for at least one year. In the meantime
visiting sailors are advised to either dock on one of the existing pontoons,
if there is space, or anchor close by. Larger yachts may come alongside the
quay.
