Mgarr : Profile

Clearance

In summer it is also possible to clear in at Mgarr Marina. The Customs office there is open 0800-1700 daily, extended until 2000 from 1st June to 30th September. Visiting yachts should approach Pontoon F - berthing assistants will indicate location of the Customs Office on arrival.

Before final departure from the Islands, a passenger/crew list has to be drawn up on the appropriate form and presented to Customs Officer and all passports are to be submitted to the Immigration Officer. There tends to be a more relaxed attitude than at Valletta.

Docking

The island of Gozo is a third of the size of the main island of Malta, but greener and more rural. It is made up of hills and deep valleys, as well as rugged cliffs. The sheltered marina is a useful base for exploring the smaller islands.
