The MAS requires that all necessary documents be submitted at least 48 hours before your entry into Suriname. You can mail these documents to us, so that we will carry out the customs clearance and immigration smoothly and quickly for you.
PLEASE NOTE, vessels over 50 GRT must report to the MAS at least 48 hours prior to arrival via a shipping agent approved by the MAS. If no notification has been made, the vessel shall not be allowed to enter.

You enter Suriname through the Suriname River, preferably during the day when the tide comes in, as different colors of light can confuse you at night. You can anchor at the inlet of the Suriname river, and preferably wait for the tide to come in. Marina Resort Waterland is about 30 NM from the mouth.
The shipping lane is clearly indicated by buoys. About 8 miles in you will pass the Capital city of Paramaribo.

If there is no response you can just continue, sail under the bridge over the river (height 41 meters) and after about 13 NM you will pass Domburg. Marina Resort Waterland is 5 NM further, on your right.
