Clearance

Clearance, licence and pilotage

Customs

Reporting arrival

US Customs and Border Protection lists Juneau, Alaska, with the Juneau Small Boat Harbor as the designated marina. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday. Phone 907-586-7108. To clear at any Alaska port after normal hours or over a weekend, you must have an appointment. NOAA Coast Pilot 8 says Juneau is a customs port of entry.

Licence

Cruising licence

19 CFR 4.94 allows a cruising licence only for a yacht of a country on its list. The licence runs for a stated period of up to one year. The yacht must not engage in trade. A foreign-flag yacht without a cruising licence must follow the laws for foreign vessels arriving at ports of the United States. Check the rules for your passport.

Pilotage

Juneau pilot boat

NOAA Coast Pilot 8 says pilotage, except for certain exempt vessels, is compulsory for all vessels navigating the inside waters of the State of Alaska. Call JUNEAU PILOT BOAT on VHF-FM channels 16, 13 or 12.

Harbor rules

HarbormasterThe harbormaster assigns berths at the city float, Aurora Basin, Harris Harbor and Douglas Boat Harbor. The office monitors VHF-FM channel 16 from 0800 to 1630 daily in summer and year round on Sundays. Working channels are 73 and 74 (NOAA Coast Pilot 8).

Douglas bridgeVessels bound for Aurora Harbor and Harris Harbor pass under the Juneau-Douglas bridge. The city harbors page gives 66.4 feet on a 0.0 tide. NOAA Coast Pilot 8 gives a clearance of 51 feet for the fixed bridge. The two sources differ. An overhead power cable with a reported clearance of 55 feet crosses the channel just northwest of it.

Safety zoneThe harbor area off the Juneau waterfront is a safety zone. NOAA Coast Pilot 8 refers to 33 CFR 165.1 to 165.9, 165.20, 165.23 and 165.1702.
