The chances of a yacht being permitted to enter Russia here will be improved by using an agent, but it is not certain that it will be successful.
Keep in constant contact with your agent. You will be advised of an exact time to be at the Pilot Station.
Once there, call the Coast Guard on VHF Channel 16 (17 may give a clearer signal). At the notified time, call Sochi Port Control on VHF Channel 16 for permission to enter the harbor and go to the Customs dock.
The Customs dock is located at the back of the cruise ship terminal. Here, your agent will meet your boat with Customs, immigration and police personnel. Fly the Russian courtesy flag. After the paperwork is completed, call Port Control and request permission to move to the yacht harbour.
All yachts, even if coming from another Russian port, must follow this procedure and complete formalities before going on to the marina. This must also be done on departure.
