  Port Louis : Profile

Clearance

This is the main harbour and the only official port of entry and exit for Mauritius. One must clear in here before visiting any other anchorage.

On arrival call Port Control on channel 16 who will probably ask you to switch to channel 14. You must then proceed to the Customs dock. It is located in an old grey building, next to an old windmill (also grey) on the left side right at the end of the main channel. There is only a small dock in front of the building with a sign saying Customs, but it is possible to tie up alongside the quay wall immediately to the south.

Customs, immigration and Coast Guard formalities are all completed in the same building.

Guns and spearguns must be declared and surrendered to Customs until departure.

Once formalities are completed you are free to move over to La Marina inside the Caudan waterfront development.
