General Clearance

Dinghy ashore and make your way to the Immigration office. To reach it walk past the Port Captain's office to the end of the path and turn right, go almost to the end (2nd to last). After completing Immigration, return to the Port Captain's office.
Each office requires photocopies of each passport and of ships papers, 4 sets. The Port Captain will require a photo of the yacht and will arrange a sail past at a set time.
You can stay for 90 days and can apply for an additional 30-day extension in Roatan.
Boats must not move from Guanaja until clearance formalities are complete. Boats that have gone directly to El Bight have been fined.
When clearing out of Honduras here it is only possible to get an international Zarpe on the day of departure.
