Clearance

The Quarantine and Customs clearance formalities can normally be completed by the officials meeting you at the yacht club. There is a charge for quarantine clearance but there should be no official charge for Customs and Immigration. However, you are likely to be asked for one for which a receipt should be given.

For Immigration clearance it is necessary to visit their office which requires a taxi ride. It is important not to wear shorts or sleeveless shirts/tops or you will not permitted entry.

Docking

The yacht club has a marina. It is also possible to anchor outside it and the holding is good in mud. A daily fee is payable for use of the dinghy dock.

The water in the anchorage is very polluted, there is loud music from restaurants on shore and much wash from passing boats.
