Barahona - Clearance
See DR Formalities for detailed clearance information and fees.
The Armada office is at the root of the commercial pier. Authorities here are efficient.
Dinghies can be left on a dock wall near to the office. With an onshore wind a stern anchor is needed to hold the dinghy off the wall.
Outward clearance for the international Despacho/Exit-Zarpe is reportedly a very smooth process at a cost of approximately 20 dollars.

We anchored at the little harbour in front of the little yacht club (that’s really stretching the term). The anchorage was calm, and the holding was good.
You can dinghy to the govt pier from there and access the town. If your dinghy to the yacht club be prepared to pay 10USD. Although we did at one point in our two-day stay go to the marina to move fuel via jugs to the boats and had ‘presidents’ in between. other than that there is really no need to go to the yacht club.
Look for a guy named Fernando. He was a great guide. He took us all over the town, to markets, cell phone stores, restaurants, and negotiated for diesel to be brought to the yacht club for us. He was great and made us feel safe in a very busy downtown environment. Be prepared to be patient on your way out of this town to other stops.
