Know your way in

Antigua has a vast array of customs requirements for yachts entering and exiting. This can be confusing for newcomers to the region, that's why we have put together this easy-to-understand guide to help you navigate them.

Yacht Clearance Process

Yachts entering Antigua and Barbuda must submit a clearance request via eseaclear at least 72 hours before arrival. After submitting your request, you will receive an email to confirm receipt and request details. You can check the status of your request by logging back in to eseaclear. The port authority will send you notification of your request status via email after clearance is granted or denied (usually within 72 hours).

What do I need to do before my arrival?

Check with the port authority if there are any restrictions on entry such as health, immigration, quarantine or what types of vessel are not allowed into Antigua and Barbuda.

What documentation do I need?

You will need to provide the following documents when submitting your clearance request: vessel documentation such as registration; contact details for the master of the boat; crew and passenger list; clearance from your last port.
