Clearance and port paperwork
Anchor off, then clear in
IGY Marinas says a yacht arriving from international waters anchors off Bocas del Toro and calls the port captain on VHF channel 16, who comes aboard to check it in. Boats arriving after closing hours raise a quarantine flag and report the next morning. The marina office arranges clearance by appointment. The port captain works Monday to Friday, 7 am to 3 pm, and is closed on weekends and holidays. Check the rules for your passport.
Carta de Atraque Yates, 2015
A 2015 circular from the Autoridad Maritima de Panama asks marinas and yacht clubs to check that newly docked yachts and sailboats have sent the Carta de Atraque Yates to the authority. If not, the marina sends it with the berthing and departure dates.
