Port Victoria on Mahe is the official port of entry and exit. Yachts show the Q flag and anchor in the outer harbour until health, customs, immigration and port officers clear them. (Eden Island Marina guide, 2023.)

Report of arrival

Within 24 hours of arrival, excluding weekends and public holidays, the owner or master reports to the Port Authority at Mahé Quay, hands in crew and passenger lists and lodges the Certificate of Registry. (Eden Island Marina guide, 2023.)

Departure

A yacht leaving for a foreign port anchors near the Coast Guard jetty. An immigration officer boards one hour before departure. The yacht leaves within the hour. (Seychelles Immigration.)
