Clearing out of the Marshalls from Ebeye is very easy and straightforward. Anchor and dinghy to the small boat marina. Head directly to Customs, (near NTA) Immigration is two doors down. After the C and I, paperwork is complete a Customs inspector may want to inspect your boat.
You will transport him to your dinghy. A Port Clearance will be issued after the inspection. As of January 2019, no fees were required.
New rules for 2018 yachts intending to visit Kwajalein Atoll. Yachts are no longer allowed to anchor or approach the US Military Islands of Roi-Namur or Kwajalein Island. For many years visiting yachts were allowed to anchor at Roi-Namur and use the services of the small boat marina, including fuel, store & laundry outside the security zone, but no more. Only Pre-approved, sponsored yachts can approach and anchor.
Fuel is no longer sold to even approved yachts. But is available in Ebeye. These rules seem to change with every new Base Commander, so inquire before relying on old published information. To visit the US Bases every individual will need an employee of the base to sponsor them, after a full background check. Allow a month for submission, check and approval. FYI it is unlikely any Non-USA passport holders will be approved.
