We caught up with Mr Quinn at Customs in Jolly Harbour today to confirm the correct procedure for clearing in at Jolly Harbour.
- The Port of Entry operates from 8am to 4.45pm but Mr Quinn suggests that you arrive and begin your clearance process before 4pm
- Customs office monitor VHF Channel 68
- All visitors should complete the eSeaClear forms online 24 hours before arrival. Customs are then alerted to your arrival and there is less time entering data when you arrive
- www.eSeaClear.com
- You may anchor outside or pick up a mooring buoy, and then dinghy in to clear in. You may go alongside at the Customs dock
- Do NOT go to the Marina docks or the fuel dock before you have cleared in
- Boats should fly their yellow Q flag before clearing
- Masks must be worn
- Your first stop is to visit the yellow Port Health office located next to the single storey building to the right if looking from the water
- Following this, go to Customs, Immigration and Port Authority in the single storey building
- Ensure your boat documents are up to date and accurate. Any discrepancies will raise issues and lengthen the process
- If you have a new boat and registration is incomplete, you will be required to moor at the Customs dock when clearing in
- The Customs Quarantine area is directly in front of Customs office
- When you have cleared in, lower your Q flag and raise your Antigua & Barbuda courtesy flag. You may then proceed to the Marina docks
- Call the Dock Team on Channel 68 for guidance
- When DEPARTING, during your clearance-out procedure, take EC$20 to pay Port Authority
