BERMUDA

Bermuda offers a unique and captivating sailing experience, thanks to its subtropical climate and favorable weather conditions. The island enjoys mild temperatures year-round, with average highs ranging from 68°F (20°C) in winter to 85°F (29°C) in summer. The warm waters of the Gulf Stream ensure that sea temperatures are pleasant, ranging from 66°F (19°C) in winter to 83°F (28°C) in summer, making it ideal for water activities.

The best time for sailing in Bermuda is from April to October, when the conditions are most favorable. During this period, sailors can expect steady easterly trade winds averaging 10-15 knots, providing excellent sailing conditions. The island’s location in the Atlantic Ocean means that weather can change rapidly, so sailors should be prepared for varying conditions, including occasional squalls and tropical storms.

Navigating Bermuda’s waters requires careful attention to the numerous reefs and shoals that surround the island. However, these natural barriers also create sheltered anchorages and calm bays, perfect for mooring and exploring. The crystal-clear waters offer incredible visibility, making it easy to spot underwater hazards.

Overall, Bermuda’s combination of reliable winds, warm temperatures, and stunning seascapes make it a premier destination for sailors seeking both adventure and relaxation in a picturesque setting

Rules for Entry BERMUDA

A valid, machine-readable passport is the required document for entry into Bermuda. All travelers, within 48 hours of departure, must complete the Bermuda travel authorization process online. Follow these other standard guidelines for clearance:

Arriving by Private Yacht

  • All private yachts entering Bermuda’s waters are required to obtain Immigration, Customs and Health Clearance from HM Customs.  The clearance facility is located at the eastern end of Ordnance Island.
  • The Customs boarding officer, who normally carries out clearance for all three departments, brings all documents required for clearance on board. The officer will also collect a passenger tax of $35 USD from each person on board.
  • Upon approach, visiting yachts must contact Bermuda Radio, which will guide you into St. George’s Harbour and direct you to Customs clearance berthing.
  • Yachts arriving from overseas ports are usually cleared with a minimum of formality.
  • To learn more about Bermuda Customs & Immigration visit Bermuda Airport’s website.

For more information please view the Guidance Document and visit Department of Marine and Port Services.

Extended Stays for Visiting Yachts & Their Crew

Effective June 1, 2011, visiting yachtsmen and their crew will be granted a maximum three-month stay on arrival in Bermuda. In keeping with best practice and standard immigration policy, visiting yachtsmen and their crew will be required to provide:
