When sailing to a foreign land, is it necessary to show your passport to the harbormaster?
by

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:Yes – you have to go in and check in with the Harbormaster. Usually, there are custom officials in the major ports and it can be quite an elaborate procedure, involving payment many times. In terms of procedure, you would radio ahead when you were coming near the port and the Harbormaster would direct you to an available slip or mooring. You would dock the boat and then go to the Harbormaster or Customs House to check in.
