    Glen here a Kiwi who is an offshore sailor but living on the island of Yap for the last 5 years, Just a quick note to tell all that it is VERY IMPORTANT to have a valid cruising permit before entering FSM.

    Here in Yap, I have seen several boats be fined $1000 USD each for not having one, even after showing proof of having applied but not received one. If a serious bit of revenue collecting is to be avoided I recommend you get it sorted in advance.

    The problem lies with head office in Pohnpei, I was witness to and tried to help a Korean sailor who lost everything he owned on the outer reef here at night after falling asleep and landing on the reef.

    The boat was a total loss and it still cost him $1000 for not having a cruising permit and a bucket load of other fees on top of that for hitting the reef and getting picked up by the local police.

    He was lucky that a lot of his good gear was taken from the ship with the pickup but unlucky most of it disappeared and the rest was confiscated. Still a great place to visit just be sure to have all in order BEFORE arrival.

    Posted on behalf of Richard of SY Mystic Rhythms:

    We just arrived in Yap a few days ago and here is the latest info.

    Port fees are 50.00 US and quarantine fees are 25.00 US.
    There are no fees for anything else if you enter between the hours of 8 to noon or 1 to 5 PM according to the customs guy.
    Clearing is a bit hectic with 5 officials asking for the same papers at the same time. All this was done at the immigration office and nobody came to the boat and nobody asked about holding tanks.
    We did have our cruising permit in advance and this likely made life easier for us.
    Make sure to fly your yellow quarantine flag on arrival. They were a bit upset that we forgot it.

    They had no problems issuing a 2-month visa for my Canadian girlfriend nor did they seem to mind that we stopped at the outer island of Woleai before clearing in and we came from PNG.

    Expect little to no boat parts to be found here and even the hardware stores are limited on stuff.

    Propane is easy to get at the Do it Best hardware store and they give you a real fill.

    Fuel is easy at the anchorage.
