commercial vessels operating in the area could be associated with anti-Houthi operations, or otherwise at risk. U.S.
flagged vessels operating in this vicinity should exercise extreme caution. Transit by yachts and privately owned
sailing vessels through the region is also extremely hazardous and may result in capture. The U.S. Coast Guard
advises against all operation of yacht and pleasure craft in these areas. Vessels that make this passage despite
this advisory should make contact in advance with NCAGS via phone: +011 973 1785 3879. American citizens
abroad should inform the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate of their plans to transit the area and/or update their
