Re: Customs on Christmas?

Surely they will not be open, sometimes and I don’t know about here, but you can get them to come out after hours or on a holiday etc., but it’s my understanding that it’s not cheap.
I would anchor, fly the Q flag of course and not go ashore, and try to contact someone who could answer when they will reopen, if they aren’t open

Yes, stay on your boat, fly the Q flag, and wait. Somehow, you WILL be notified when to come ashore for the formalities, but do not expect them to come to you on Christmas Day, or on the day after. Be discreet.
