Charlotte Amalie (St Thomas) : Profile

Clearance

The captain should go ashore and obtain preliminary clearance at the offices on the western end of the waterfront next to the seaplane landing. All crew must then go with their completed papers to customs and immigration at the ferry dock. One crew member is allowed to stay on board as an anchor watch. However, if not a US national he or she will have to clear in person later at the same place.
