Capsule technique - Curacao - (MAJ 2014-08-12)

MERCI mille fois à l'équipage de SUENO (David et Nathalie) pour le détail des formalités à compléter pour CURACAO
Merci également à Nancy et Richard pour la mise à jour.

Notes de Nancy et Richard (Sailing Diver)
  1. Nous avions contacter sur le VHF-16 les cost guard pour savoir où mettre le voilier pour faire les formalités d'entrée …les cons nous ont envoyer dans le chenal commercial….Richard voulait mourrir. Un courant comme pas possible puis impossible d'accoster car des super gros dock de béton. Aller plustôt vous ancrer dans SPANISH WATER lors de votre arrivée. Bonne tenue de fond puis vous avez 24 heures pour faire vos formalités.
  2. Vous pouvez faire  vos formalités en bus avec vos papiers.  IMPORTANT. N'oublier pas que tous les gens à bord du voilier doivent s'y rendre que ce soit pour l'entrée ou de sortie. Mettre l'annexe au petit resto "Fisherman",  et prendre le bus au rond point (1 us / personne). Vous descendez au terminus à Ponda. Vous avez 3 endroits à faire pour vos formalités. GRATUIT mais vous devez payer les frais d'ancrage qui sont de 10 $US pour 3 mois. Le bus passe presqu'à toutes les heures sauf le dimanche.  Alors je vous suggère de ne pas aller faire votre entrée ou sortie un dimanche car très peu d'autobus.
  3. Du lundi au samedi, vous pouvez prendre l'autobus privé gratuit du supermarché directement au resto "fisherman" à 10:00 AM pour votre épicerie et il vous ramène. Le tout sans frais. Vous avez une (1) heure pour faire vos courses. Et, tout près à pied, se trouve Island Waterworld, Budget Marine, Napa, si besoin. Vous pouvez utiliser le bus du supermarché pour faire vos courses dans les commerces adjacents sans rien acheter au supermarché.
  4. Pour Curaçao, nous n'avons aucun problème avec le chien. Les douanes le savait car ils ont vu le passe-port dans notre porte-folio. Alors ils nous ont demandé si nous avions un chien..et ils ont fait une copie du passeport. Sans aucun frais supplémentaires.
Notes de Sueno
Here are two small maps of 1-The spanish water anchorage and 2- the different regulation offices in Willemstad, Curacao.




The day following your arrival in Spanish Water (the most recommended anchorage), WITH THE WHOLE CREW Take the local bus to Willemstad (0.90 U$) from the round about near the fishermen harbor (see Spanish Waters map).

Be carfull not to take a supermarket shuttle directly in the marina. You have to walk to the round-about (2 minutes). Schedule: 7:00, 8:00, 8:55,10:10, 12:15,13:15, 14:15, 15:10, 16:25, 17:25, 18:45...

Take that bus all the way to the terminus.

Follow the canal to the Custom offices (open 24/7) near the Venezuelian fruit/veg market.

Then walk to the rotating (floating) bridge and go on the other side of the river

Follow the shore of the river going toward the big blue and yellow bridge until you reach a small garding post on your right. They will ask for ID to let you enter the port and give you a paper for immigration to stamp.

Continue along the wharehouses (even if it looks abandonned) until you are further than the big blue yellow bridge pillars.

The immigration offices (7 days, 7:00 to 21:30) are in a greenish building right beside the Pilots bright yellow and blue building. THEY WILL ASK TO SEE THE WHOLE CREW.

You can then go next door (upstairs) in the Pilots house to get your cruising permit ($10, Monday to Friday 07:30 to 11:45 and 13:30 to 16.30 except Friday 16:00, closed on w-e).

THEY WILL ASK YOU TO TELL THEM WHERE YOU ARE ANCHORED AND WHERE YOU PLAN TO ANCHOR DURING YOUR STAY. There is no additional fee for changing spot but you are supposed to tell them ahead of time, everytime.

Also, to get internet in Spanish Waters, call SOL on channel 72, they charge 10U$ for a week, unlimited traffic and cheaper for a month.

Their home page (don't even need to have paid for internet to get them) is full of great info for cruisers:

Hope this can help you folks and others.
