Subic Bay Freeport Zone
Overview
The Philippine Islands are one of the largest archipelagos around the world. It comprises 7, 107
islands which during high tide, only 7,100 are visible. Since the only way to get to many of its
stunning islands is by the sea, the country has become a good cruising and island hopping spot in
South East Asia. Some of the amazing places to visit are Baler, Batanes, Bohol, Busuanga, Cebu,
Davao, Hundred Islands, Malapascua, Pagudpod, Palawan, Panglao Island, Puerto Galera, Subic
Bay, Tagaytay, and Zamboanga.
Generally, the Philippines is a safe cruising area and despite the impressions on rebels attack, the
insurgence in Mindanao is located farther south. In 2013, Davao City in southern Mindanao was
even ranked as 4th among the safest and 7th on the best cities in the world.

Courtesy Flag
The National Flag of the Philippines is a horizontal bicolor flag with equal bands of royal
blue and scarlet red, and with a white equilateral triangle at the hoist. It is commonly known as
the Three Stars and a Sun. At the center of the triangle is a golden yellow sun with eight primary
rays. These rays represent the country's first group of provinces that started the 1896 Philippine
Revolution against Spain. The five-point star at each vertex of the triangle represents one of the
country's three main island groups - Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. If the red side of this flag is on
top, it indicates a state of war.
Arrival and Departure
Yachts arriving/departing in the Philippines usually report to the yacht club initially and is best
advised to give advance information on arrival and/or departure. Asia Pacific Marine (APM) can
process custom and immigration clearances for visiting yachts. Yachts must try to give 24 hours
advance notice of arrival at the Port of Entry especially those with animals aboard which are subject
for quarantine. APM can also clear documents and permit for animals. APM has associates in Cebu
and Puerto Princesa, Palawan that can also clear yachts and offer seamless services throughout the
Philippines.

Cash Withdrawals
There are thousands of banks and ATMs in the Philippines wherein visitors can use their card but
don’t expect these to rural areas. Always secure cash before leaving a city. There are three major
local ATM consortia in the country: BancNet, MegaLink, and Expressnet. Normal bank charges will
be applied. It is best to always secure identification cards which may be required for changing
travelers’ cheques (USD travelers cheques are the most secure). You can contact us for money
transfers and encashment assistance.
Money Changers
Visitors can easily find money changers in commercial centers in cities which you can also find in
department stores and shopping mall premises. Local moneychangers are also available but though
they offer higher exchange rates, it is safer to go to the banks, or hotels and resorts.
In Manila, there should be no trouble changing US dollars, British pounds or euros. Japanese yen,
Canadian and Australian dollars, ASEAN currencies, and some currencies from the Middle East are
also accepted. In smaller cities, US dollar is most commonly accepted.
Emergency Telephone Numbers
The official emergency hotline in the Philippines is 117 (pronounced as one-one-seven) and is the
only emergency number in the world that can be accessed via voice call and text messaging
managed by the Department of Interior and Local Government.

Subic Bay Freeport Zone
Subic Bay Freeport Zone
Location
Subic Bay Freeport Zone (SBFZ) or simply Subic Bay was a military base that was successfully
converted into a tax and duty free zone managed by Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority or SBMA. The
place is 110km north of Manila and can be reached via expressways with approximate travel time of
3 hours depending on traffic.

“The mountain ranges around the Subic Bay area and the deep natural harbor provide excellent and
protected anchorage. In addition, these features make SBFZ naturally sheltered from typhoons.
Subic Bay Freeport Zone is in Region III (or Central Luzon Region) of the Philippines. It is one of
the points in the growth triangle (and an engine for economic development) in the region. SBFZ is a
supplier of services and products for the Central Luzon Development Program, a regional growth
area composed of the provinces of Bulacan, Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Pampanga, Bataan,
and Zambales.” (Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subic_Bay_Freeport_Zone)

Docking Options
Aside from the Subic Bay Yacht Club, there are other docking options available.
e.
Bravo Pier
APM usually do refit and repairs at Bravo Pier. This is in the middle of town and the crew will need
passes to get in and out of the compound. There is ample power. However, the yard is used by a
lot of small boats doing annual maintenance. It is also right beside Subic dock which creates a lot
of dust as well. We will need to clear in the yacht club or anchor out and wait until you are cleared
in before heading into the dock. We may have to get a tender to come and collect the CIQ to
board. The dock is very cheap at PhP25, 000.00 a month.
f.
Nabasan Pier
This dock is clean but has no power and it is quite a drive for the crew to get into town, say about
15 minute drive. You will need to secure a hire car. We will need to clear in the yacht club or
anchor out and wait until you are cleared in before heading into the dock. We may have to get a
tender to come and collect the CIQ to board. 35,000 per month (cost will depend on the specs of
your yacht)
.
Philippines - Guide for Superyachts 2015
Subic Bay Freeport Zone
g. Camayan
This dock is also very clean privately owned by the whale park. There are hotels and 2 restaurants
nearby open 24 hours. They will provide hire cars and vans for you they can provide you with fresh
water. Power might be an issue for your size yacht, if you could give me your daily consumption
KVA I will be able to let you know if they can provide power. The area has the cleanest water in
the bay and is tightly controlled by Ocean Adventure. On this dock you will be able to clear in on
the dock since it is a privately owned dock.
This berth is even further than Nabasan and it will take about a 20 minute drive into town. Another
concern is that the area is right by the whale park and spillage of contaminants like oil and
detergents during wash down will have to be scrutinized very well.

b. Nautilus 2 Shipyard and Repair Facility: Travel Lift
This yard has a 600 ton travel lift. It is in Manila and the area will not be clean and security may be
a problem. However, they are very cheap as the last quote we got for a 40meter simple dry
docking was roughly $20,000 for a 7 day haul out.

c. Subic Dock
Although Subic Dock does not usually take yachts, clients may be entertained if lucky enough that
the dock has no vessel. It is right beside the Subic Bay Yacht club and will be very convenient if
available.
Fuel Docks
APM can arrange fuel at the POL coastal dock jetty or the jetty beside the yacht club owned
by CS&T Subic, Inc.
