Wow that is a new one, no more boat permits needed. I am a little surprised at that one. Thanks for the link.

Does this refer to boat permits( any boat) or boat fishing licenses. ? It is not clear.
Thanks.

I am confused also. Is there a mix up between boat fishing licences and boat permits on this thread ?

I believe a license and a permit are one in the same thing. The Gov't official I used to get them from in Kino called them "Sailing Papers". Maybe it's a matter of translation. Maybe not...

People, people, people...
As far as I know and have read - FISHING licenses are still required.
This applies to the BOAT permit that was previously required to legally operate your boat in Mexican waters. It is apparently no longer being required.
Two totally separate and distinct pieces of paper.

What do you mean, "a boat fishing permit"? There are three different documents that were required in the past:
1. Permiso de pesca deportivo-recreativa para embarcacion - "boat permit"
2. Permiso individual de pesca deportivo-recreativa - "fishing license"
3. 10 year importation permit
The news release says #1 is no longer required. You still need #2 to fish from a boat, but not to fish from shore. I believe that you are no longer required to have #3, but since I have mine, I did not pay close attention to that discussion last year.

I certainly enjoy this site and the amigos whom hang here....
Can we revisit the last threads about 10 year permits??? Heaven forbid we overlook that permit and the one time in ten years a "Official" requests it, and we do not have....
Thanks guys....And gals....

Pay attention, Iron Man, before the nun smacks your knuckles with the ruler! 
In all my trips to San Carlos and Penasco, towing my boat, last year was the very 1st time I was required to get the Temporary Import Permit (TIP) at 21km. The aduana agent asked for the "boat permit." Sure, no problem! I gave him the boat permit issued by the PESCA folks (the one that is no longer required). He shook his head, no, not this permit. He insisted I go back and get the TIP. Which I did and now have. Of course, now that I have it, it's unlikely that I'll ever be asked for it again.
It's Mexico. They make up the rules as they go along.

Please Sister, not the knuckles. Father Flanagan always...never mind!
I got one my first trip in with the boat, as it was required to store the boat at Marina Seca and they asked for a copy to put on file at Marina San Carlos. Conversation came up last year, surrounding the elimination of vehicle permits in the Free Zone, and whether that changed the requirement for a T.I.P.
Like so much of my past, I can't remember how the discussion ended, but when the Psychiatrist is digging into my suppressed memories it may come back to me.....

would i be correct that at least in theory, i should have an importation permit for my 11' inflatable?
would any of you bother getting one for such?
is the $60 a flat fee or is it based on value of boat?
can you get these through CONAPESCA?
inquiring minds, and all that rot.....
thanks in advance!

I don't think you'd be questioned on that. Personally, I'd only get one if I HAD to for an inflatable. It is like $56 U.S., if I recall correctly, and it MUST be on a credit card. No, you can't get them from CONPESCA. It is an ADUANA (customs) thing and can only be gotten through the aduana, as far as I know. They'll let you know when you cross the 21 km station, but chances are, you won't need it. Probably the same for a kayak. They seem to key on bigger boats that have "stuff" in/with them. You have to list all the stuff in the boat, like radios, fridge, microwave, TV, motors, etc. Just have the actual (not copies) of the title for the inflatable and trailer with you in case you do have to get one.Last edited on Fri Jan 25th, 2008 06:53 pm by Stuart

This is all very interesting, and somewhat puzzling to me. I was an importer/exporter for a number of years (hence the name "bahiatrader), mostly before SanCarlos became part of the free zone. I almost always took my boats with me. When I'd stop at the aduana to be inspected, pay my fees, duties, and red tape, they never questioned me about my boats except to look at the registration and sailing papers. I've been searched rather diligently by the soldados also, and they never bothered me.
I even sold one of my boats in Mexico. Maybe I never had to pay an import fee because as Stuart says, they key on larger boats. Mine were only 17 and 19' I/O. Maybe I was lucky and fell through the cracks.
