ANGUILLA--Chairman of the Summer Festival John Benjamin has issued the strict regulations that will be enforced for boats of all sizes and party boats visiting Anguilla on August Monday.
All boats must have passengers manifested for safety and security reasons and this must be presented to customs or immigration personnel. All products being imported must be declared to the Anguilla Customs officials.
Each person manifested on the boats will be asked to pay an embarkation fee and an environmental levy totalling US $10 which should be collected by boat operators or captains and paid at the Customs Office.
Boats must not be left anchored at the wharf and only boats of a certain size will be docked in designated areas near the beach. Party boats will be allowed to off load passengers at the wharf and then anchor offshore until it is time to pick up their passengers.
Boat operators are also being asked not to display banners and advertising material not approved by the Anguilla Summer Festival Committee.
