Arrival

Report in person or by app

CBP says boats arriving in Puerto Rico from foreign ports or the US Virgin Islands must report in person to a designated CBP office for a face-to-face inspection. Boaters enrolled in an alternative inspection program, such as the CBP ROAM app or Verified Traveler, may report by app or phone. San Juan Bay Marina, Club Náutico de San Juan and Cangrejos Yacht Club are the listed San Juan sites.

Phone

Port of San Juan

The arrival reporting line is 1-877-529-6840 or (787) 729-6840, every day from 8:00 to midnight. After hours, leave the boat name, registration number, date and time of arrival, and a return number. CBP asks for everyone's name, date of birth and citizenship, with passport and visa details if they apply.

Fees and papers

Decal and cruising licence

Vessels of 30 ft or longer need a CBP user fee decal. A qualified foreign vessel also gives its cruising licence number. CBP lists a civil penalty of US$5,000 for a first failure to report and US$10,000 for each later one. Dockside Management says that clearing in at San Juan means no other US immigration stop is needed. Check the rules for your passport.
