Arrival Kits
The guides are free. A kit unlocks the forms tool for that country, plus the checklists, templates and costs.
| Kit | Price |
|---|---|
| Fiji Arrival Kit | US$19 |
| French Polynesia Arrival Kit | US$19 |
| Cook Islands Arrival Kit | US$19 |
| Tonga Arrival Kit | US$19 |
| South Pacific bundle (all four, 15% off) | US$64.60 |
Four kits at US$19 would be US$76. The bundle takes 15% off that, which is US$64.60.
French Polynesia
French Polynesia’s main steps are online portals, so there’s no paper form to fill. Here’s how we make it easy anyway:
- A ready answer sheet in each portal’s exact field order, so you can copy and paste and get through the clunky portals fast: customs entry and exit, the biosecurity boarding request, and, if pets are aboard, the maritime pet import.
- The four official pet attestations, filled in for each animal: rabies vaccination, two antiparasitic treatments, and identification. Your vet still signs and stamps them.
- The numbered step-by-step walkthrough, with a direct link to each official site.
- The Arrival Kit PDF.
What’s in a kit
The forms tool for that country, and a downloadable Arrival Kit PDF: the step-by-step walkthrough, the checklist, the contacts and fees, and our firsthand notes, with a link to every official form. Your boat, crew and pets carry over between countries. The South Pacific bundle is all four PDFs.

Download the Arrival Kit PDF
Bought a kit, or got a member code? Type it here. A country key downloads that country’s PDF. A bundle key or a member code can download any of them, or all four in one zip. The PDF is the walkthrough. It is not your filled-in clearance forms. Those stay on your device.
Free for our crew
Paid Captain’s Log subscribers and Tier 2 Patreon supporters get every kit free. It’s our thank-you for keeping the boat (and the pugs) going. Steve posts the member code in a paid-subscribers-only Captain’s Log post and in a Tier 2 Patreon post, and rotates it from time to time. Type that code into the same box as a licence key. It unlocks the forms tool and these PDFs.

You’re buying information and a do-it-yourself forms tool. We don’t file, submit or sign anything for you, and we’re not a customs agent. Best efforts, not legal advice.
The honest fine print
Some Tuesday, LLC sells information and a do-it-yourself forms tool. We never file, submit, sign or send paperwork for anyone. We’re not a customs agent, yacht agent or lawyer, and nothing here is legal advice.
Everything here is best efforts. We combine research from the official sources, automation that fills in the forms for you, and our own experience. Rules change, officials change, and every boat’s experience in each country will be a little different, including from ours. Before you rely on anything here, check it against the official links and with the officials themselves. You’re responsible for checking, signing and submitting your own forms.
