VOY / PORTS OF ENTRY
Choose the right entry port.
Start your trip smoothly.
Private yachts must complete entry and exit inspections at designated ports. VOY helps coordinate a suitable clearance terminal around your yacht, route and reception arrangements, before connecting the voyage with berthing and time ashore.

GUANGZHOU / NANSHA

For central Zhuhai and onward island trips

Guishan passenger terminal, Wanshan port area, Port of Zhuhai
For Guishan Island and confirmed Wanshan Islands itineraries
Complete inspection at the designated terminal and confirm the exact overnight berth and embarkation point. Reception, landing and activity arrangements at other islands must be checked individually.
ZHONGSHAN / SHENWAN
Sunsea Yacht Club Marina
Sunsea Yacht Club Marina, Shenwan port area, Port of Zhongshan
For Shenwan and the western Pearl River waterfront
Confirm inspection, berthing and lock arrangements first. If the voyage passes through Macao waters or continues inland, check the additional reporting, bridge and tidal requirements.
BEFORE ARRIVAL
Plan clearance and berthing separately.
-
Complete the initial paperwork
Arrange the temporary nationality certificate, management agreement, skipper assessment and initial registration of the yacht and persons on board.
-
Book reception, then report the voyage
Entry bookings may be made up to 30 days in advance. Notify the port inspection authorities of the expected arrival or departure time and persons on board four hours before entry or exit, as required.
-
Go directly to clearance
Do not stop at another terminal before entry inspection. After departure clearance, proceed directly out of mainland waters. A change of persons on board, or failure to leave within four hours of departure clearance, requires the relevant formalities to be completed again.
-
Confirm every destination berth
A passenger terminal with clearance facilities does not automatically offer overnight berthing. Equally, a marina berth does not mean entry and exit inspections are available there.
