The "that's" bit puzzles me.

Please send some info what a Canadian citizen have to do to clear us
Customs/immigration?
Any good links?
Thank you.

It's easy. Basic is have a valid passport. Have enough money to look
respectable. No contraband especially drugs. Given that, there should
be no problems.

A passport or visa is not required for Canadian citizens:

"Beginning January 31, 2008, the United States will end the practice of
accepting oral declarations of citizenship at the border.

both identity and citizenship. Identification documents must include a
photo, name and date of birth. View the complete list of acceptable
documents at

NOPE... won't work... he is NOT entering from Canada on the Canadian
border... he is coming into Port Everglades.

1) call Customs from a Dock or mooring. US Customs 800 451-0393;
800-432-1216; Have your registration or document or whatever you use up
that way, passports etc.
They will give you a CUSTOMS clearance number (or they will come to your
boat and search it... 1:100 chance)

2) Get in a car or cab and head to IMMIGRATION with everyone on your boat.
It is in the port near the FLL airport but not in the airport, customs can
give you info.
Immigration will check passports for ALL passengers and stamp your passport.

Read the web pages concerned and linked to, you twit. They CLEARLY STATE the
requirements for Canadians coming to the US in small boats. And a passport
IS NOT among the requirements. You are attempting to dispute what the Dept.
of Homeland Security has placed on its site. That's a pretty dumb thing to
do.

It is a good thing to have however since it establishes identity and
citizenship with a single document.

Greg...I'l give you this one but after 20 years of going back and forth to
the islands out of FLL, I have found a LOT of false info on Govt web sites.
it is always best to call the LOCAL office and ask. Also.. Bahamas is MUCH
worse, they change the rules daily by island and time of day.


It appears they has recently re-softened the law for Canadians ONLY (not US
citizens strangly enough...we are back to passports again after June1st 08).
Canadians on private boats are back to BIRTH CERTIFICATE (showing born in
Canada) and a government issued Photo ID.
my previous directions are still correct. BTW.. The officers badge number
who confirmed this is 17161in For Lauderdale if they give you any grief.

1) call Customs from a Dock or mooring. (YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CALL FROM 12
NM out) US Customs 800 451-0393; 800-432-1216; Be prepared to be on
hold for 30-60 minutes. Have your registration or document or whatever
you use up that way, passports etc.
They will give you a CUSTOMS clearance number (or they will come to your
boat and search it... 1:100 chance)

2) Get in a car or cab and head to IMMIGRATION with everyone on your boat
and their papers. It is in the port near the FLL airport but not in the
airport, customs 1800 ELLER DRIVE, Fort Lauderdale
Immigration will check passports/PAPERS for ALL passengers

Hoards of Canadian sailboats go down to Marblehead Mass every 2nd year for
the Marblehead to Halifax Ocean Race.
Even more American boats race up here. I haven't heard of any problems....
although sailors are a special class of people and deserve special
treatment. ;-)
