TRAVELING TO MEXICO?

As of January 2008, Mexico no longer requires permits for boats engaging in sport-fishing in Mexican waters. However, fishing licenses and crew lists are still mandatory. If you have any type of fishing gear aboard your boat, you must purchase a fishing license for each person on the boat.

Watercraft Liability Insurance coverage is extremely important, as well, while traveling in Mexican territorial waters, inland lakes and rivers.

We're here to provide an effortless approach to obtaining the appropriate licenses and liability insurance BEFORE you depart. Yes, you can handle this paperwork when you arrive in Mexico, but why not take advantage of this convenient service prior to your departure.

Fishing Licenses can be purchased from us for nominal fees in weekly, monthly, or yearly increments. Crew lists can be obtained for just $45. Insurance quoted upon receipt of vessel information.

Please call us or email us your request.
