Entry guidelines
For more information about travelling to Bermuda via private yacht,
visit Bermuda Radio.
Follow these simple guidelines to make your clearance as smooth as possible:
- All private yachts entering our waters are required to obtain Immigration, Customs, and Health Clearance in the port of St. George's. The clearance facility is located at the eastern end of Ordnance Island
- Yachts arriving from overseas ports are usually cleared with a minimum of formality
- Upon approach, visiting yachtsmen must contact Bermuda Radio, which will guide you into St. George's Harbour and direct you to Customs clearance berthing
- The Customs boarding officer, who normally carries out clearance for all three departments, brings all documents required for clearance on board. The officer will also collect a passenger tax of US$35 from each person on board.
- A valid, machine-readable passport is the required document for entry into Bermuda; it is required of all visitors from countries that require a passport for re-entry purposes or for entry through another country to which the passenger has right of entry
