Bermuda sailing - an unique experience
Many people may not realize that the island of Bermuda is not actually located within the Caribbean. Rather, it is off the coast of South Carolina in the United States. This makes it a convenient stop for many northern yachters on their way to more tropical destinations. But it's just as good a place to drop anchor for a nice vacation. Bermuda is often a stopover for boats leaving the Caribbean around April or May and for boats traveling to the Caribbean in the fall. It traffics over 1,000 yachts each year, and is also a popular base or stop after yacht races. When entering Bermuda, travelers must first make contact via radio. Contact the Rescue Coordination Center (RCC) Bermuda or Bermuda Harbour Radio on VHF Channel 16, and list your approximate arrival time and any special needs you may have. There is a 24-hour radar watch, and the station is on call on 2182 KHz, 4125 KHz, and VHF Channels 16 and 27. Note: Pay special attention to the reef! The radar should alert you if you pass too close, but it is always best to be safe. Bermuda has only one port of entry: St. George's Harbour. Travelers should enter this port flying the yellow quarantine flag and head to the Customs dock, which is located on the Northeast corner of Ordnance Island and is open from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday. Enter St. George's Harbour through the Town Cut channel. After clearing Customs, yachts may travel elsewhere in Bermuda; yachters who don't stop here first will be fined. Yachts entering between midnight and 8:00 a.m. will be directed to anchor in Powder Hole, where they must remain until Customs opens. You should have two crew lists and two lists of consumable stores. Usually the Customs boarding officer will handle all formalities. The entrance fee of $15(USD) is charged to all people entering Bermuda. Firearms, including spear guns, must be left with the Customs officers. All medicines must be declared. Fruits and vegetables are not permitted to enter. Animals must have proof of health and an Import Permit from the Bermuda Department of Environmental Protection. Yachts are allowed to remain in Bermuda for six months. If yachts are left longer than six months, then a Customs duty of 33.5 percent of the yacht's value will be charged. If delays are necessary for legitimate reasons, the Collector of Customs may grant an extension.
