Posted on behalf of SY Tamarisk:
We visited Aden in January 2014. The port is very hostile and we believe unsafe for cruisers due to out of control military people based there. Agent Omar (listed on noonsite) is dead and the daughter who picks up the phone is mostly clueless. See our blog http://www.tamariskrtw.com/ for more details.

I have visited Aden in March 2014. Very friendly authorities, they ask you to anchor off near tourist port. Good holding at 7m, but be careful – there are some gas pipes on the bottom – look onshore and on tanker buoys at portside to find it. Go ashore on rib for customs and take shore pas for 3 days – all for free. They will ask some bakshish – I presented caps, it was enough.
You can fill diesel at fuel pier, ask locals to help you. We used the taxi driver, pay him 25 USD per day and he assists us to fix all problems. You can legally buy any firearms in Aden: AK-47 cost about 300USD, but you need to take permission to carry it to port – it needs 2-3 days to take it. Good and cheap provisioning in the city, friendly officials – nice port of call.
