Immigration offices are located throughout the country, allowing for flexibility in planning one's port-of-entry. The following locations serve as ports-of-entry for boats coming to Belize: Belize City, San Pedro, Dangriga, Big Creek, and Punta Gorda. It is required that all boats are cleared through immigration, customs, health, and currency upon arrival. To do this, visitors must have clearance from the country that they are coming from, a valid passport, and visitors coming from certain countries will need a visa. 
Fuel and Supplies
Fuel is available at all ports-of-entry. Fuel docks, however, are not accessible at all locations by keelboats. There are fuel docks capable of handling keelboats in Belize City, San Pedro, Big Creek, and Placencia. The fuel dock in Dangriga is not accessible by sailboats or catamarans, and the water depths for the fuel dock in Punta Gorda are questionable. It is highly advised that current depths and clearances are verified before pulling up to any fuel dock. Jerry cans will come in handy when looking to refuel.
An up-to-date cruising guide will be a necessary trip-planning tool for boats coming to Belize. Come prepared with everything that you might need as equipment and supplies for sailing vessels are not readily available. Food and basic provisions are to be found country-wide.
Sailing Conditions and Protected Areas
