Coast Guard Departure Anchorage (outbound clearance)
4° 37.7′ S · 55° 29.0′ E
The final stop for yachts leaving Seychelles for a foreign port: you anchor next to the Seychelles Coast Guard jetty for the last inspection before sailing.
Practical
Position from Eden Island Marina's entry and exit guide: 04°37.65'S 055°29.00'E, next to the Coast Guard jetty. The Coast Guard collects firearms and spear guns and inspects the crew list and passports; an immigration officer boards about an hour before departure. You must leave Victoria within the hour, take nobody else aboard, and make no stop at any other Seychelles island except in an emergency (notify the Port Authority by radio if you must). hackingfamily.com (2009) reported passports were only handed back once the boat was underway.
