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. 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 Harbour 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. He/she will also collect a passenger tax of BM$35 for each person on board 

• Passports are the preferred document for entry and are required of all visitors from countries that need a passport for re-entry purposes
