Arrival

Arrival, rules and harbor limits

Foreign arrival

Report to CASC and CBP

Safe Harbor Newport Shipyard describes two steps. Call CASC on 207-532-2131 extension 255. CASC registers the foreign passengers and crew, then tells CBP. CBP sends an officer to the vessel. The shipyard lists the CBP Providence office at 49 Pavilion Avenue, Providence RI 02905, with a 24 hour number of 800-973-2867. Check the rules for your passport.

Pleasure vessels

Report on arrival

CBP states that the Small Vessel Reporting System is no longer in service. Boaters can use the CBP ROAM app or the telephone reporting numbers. A small vessel arriving from a foreign port must report to CBP immediately. Under 19 CFR 4.94, CBP may issue a cruising license to a yacht of a foreign country only if that country is on the reciprocity list. The license runs for a stated period of up to one year.

Harbor rules

No discharge zone

Newport Harbor is a no discharge zone. Fines run from USD 500 to 1,000. The speed limit is 5 mph and the harbor is a no wake zone. Vessels must not anchor in open channels or in the mooring fields (City of Newport Harbor Guide, undated).
