Boat Liability Insurance in Mexico

What does boat liability coverage do?

Boat liability insurance protects you from legal liability from accidents which result from the maintenance, use, or ownership of your boat or yacht. This includes protection from legal liability for bodily injuries, damage to someone else's property, bail bond and legal defense in the event of such claims.

Temporary Import Permit

Boats registered outside of Mexico also need to apply for a temporary import permit. This is true for cars visiting Mexico as well, except for visits by car limited to the Baja California peninsula.

Visa and Tourist Cards

Our travel plans in Mexican waters may require you to obtain Mexican immigration paperwork. With the proper boat liability insurance plan in Mexico, you can enjoy all the beautiful features Mexico has to offer. Sail on your boat or cruise on your yacht with peace of mind knowing you’re properly prepared for any sort of emergency or situation.

Operator requirements

All vessel operators must have a current "Libreta de Mar" from Mexico or a government issued boater's license from the operator's home state or country.

Territorial restrictions

Coverage effective only within Mexico.
