Check-in facilities

Before entering the harbour channel, all yachts must call "Richards Bay Port Authority" on VHF channel 16 or 12 to request permission to enter the port.
On arrival, foreign yachts MUST proceed to the Customs Dock and await the arrival of personel from Immigration, Customs and Health. This could take up to 24 hours and a friendly reminder on VHF to Port Control to re-notify these departments of your arrival is often helpful. Do not leave the vessel until ALL the authorities have visited your vessel and completed their documentation.
There is no cost for these check-in procedures and no cost for berthing at the Customs Dock.
