Increasing Yachting Tourism

Our single-window port clearance system for yachts allows all on board to swiftly clear Customs and Immigration

This allows passengers to step ashore faster and spend more time visiting local attractions, restaurants, and shopping

 

 

If border formalities are streamlined, charter yachts may even base their vessel in your country, in between trips

This can increase revenues for boatyards and provide jobs for local dayworkers

 

 

 

Visitors aboard smaller yachts also benefit from easier port clearance so that they can get ashore faster for sightseeing and buying provisions

They may be less affluent than charter yacht passengers, but there are many more of them

 

 

Large international maritime events, such as sailing regattas, racing and fishing tournaments can overwhelm Customs & Immigration, leading to extended delays in port clearance

Our system handles high volumes of vessel arrivals to make port clearance pain-free, for both visitors and border agencies alike

In Antigua, where our system has been operating for the past 8 years, a nominal fee is charged to visiting yachts which completely offsets the annual cost of the service

Once deployed, our system is self-funding and therefore completely sustainable

Being able to increase the number of visiting yachts plus maximizing the time passengers spend onshore, you will improve revenues across the whole yachting tourism sector within the Blue Economy
