Before entering the Harbour, contact PORT CONTROL on VHF 13 for instructions to proceed. Visiting yachts are usually directed to proceed to the Marianas Yacht Club (MYC). Crews are usually allowed to go ashore to await clearance.
It is not recommended to enter the anchorage after dark. Yachts should take extreme care not to encroach into the U.S. Naval Harbour which is also located within Apra Harbor. There will normally be a U.S. Coast Guard vessel outside the entrance of Apra Harbor. The Coast Guard may contact you or even board your vessel, particularly if you appear to be approaching too close to the U.S. Navy facilities or vessels. There are also several small patrol boats inside of the harbor which may also approach you, and have been known to assist yachts to the Marianas Yacht Club anchorage.
MYC can usually be contacted on Channel 79 Alpha. There are no docks, access from yacht to shore is by dinghy only. If at all possible, someone will meet you outside of the anchorage to escort you in.
If you plan to arrive on a Sunday, you will be required to pay overtime for Customs and Immigration services.

Visiting yachts are required to clear Guam customs and immigration at Apra Harbour. Note that Guam is an unincorporated territory of the United States subject to U.S. Federal Customs and Immigration.
