Variable charges clearing in/out of Honduras

Published 12 years ago, updated 6 years ago

We cleared into Honduras in Utila (Bay Islands) in October 2012 and were not charged anything. When we cleared out of Guanaja – again no charges for anything, although we had heard some people were charged a small amount ($5 per passport).

We returned in April of 2013 and cleared in through Guanaja and were charged $10 US total (there are 4 of us on board). While in Utila, we had heard other people talking about being charged $20-$30 to clear out of there and they recommended going to Roatan.

We went to Puerto Cortes on the mainland (for a haulout) and to clear out. We were charged:

$20 US (immigration: $5 per passport)

7 L (about $0.40) for copies, and

$35L (about $1.75US) for an international zarpe.

We were also told we should have reported to the port captain on entering the Puerto Cortes bay – although we were not fined for not doing so.
