when was the last time you read their laws??? perhaps you need to do this.

it is a damned shame to see and read about folks flouting the laws of a nation into which they are cruising. the deliberate denial of these laws is what brought agace out the first time.
you personify the ugly american in your denial of the nations laws. because the newer laws are slowly being enforced does not mean they donot exist. you may wish to awaken and follow them.

Second that, I have both Mex. liability and general boat ins. (though separate policies) through his agency, Novamar.

i, too, carry novamar.
reasonable folks with a reasonable rate. when they split from mariners a few years ago momma kept me with the novamar group.
liability insurance is mandatory in mexican marinas.
the insurance company MUST have feet in mexico, so ace, and novamar, some others are accepted.
this is part of what agace was investigating, and with which many fail to comply.
ignorance of the law is never an excuse.
cruise here, learn the laws that affect your cruising.

I think it's weird that the only part of MX that has this suposed hang up about insurance is near the the US west coast? I think bums from the USA have made it an issue. People sail all over the world and have insurance if needed, but if they get near you people, it's manditory.

Would you please be a little clearer on what your point is and of what help your statement may be to us ?

[zeehag]

considering the mexican govt is attempting to universalize their practices, guy, you are dead wrong. i hope agace sets you straight soonest. i heard they are on their way to your side of mexico soon.
this has been in progress since before the agace visit to west mexico spawned by reports of faking of papers.
this is exactly what agace is seeking out. legality in mexico is dependent upon knowing the nations laws and being in compliance with those laws. .
stop preaching flouting of laws. you, guy, are currently part of the problem, unfortunately.

It has been a while since this thread was active but I landed on this post with a similar question.

We are planning to sail down to Mexico later this year and have obtained a hull insurance by extending our Boat US insurance. Also looking at their partner (MexPro) to obtain a liability insurance. Does anyone know what the "acceptable minimum" is?

I have an option for $50k/$100k/$100k:
$50,000 Bodily Injury Liability per Person
$100,000 Bodily Injury Liability per Accident
$100,000 Property Damage Liability per Accident

Alternative is $100k/$300k/$100k.

I read some people mentioning $100k being the minimum accepted by some marinas. What is that $100k? Bodily Injury Liability per Person or Property Damage Liability per Accident?

If no strong reason otherwise, I am planning to get the $50k/$100k/$100k.

sadly boat screw err boat us is not an acceptable mexican insurance. must be with a company with feet in mexico. novamar and ace are those. boat screw us is not mexican only usa.

as for the individual asking when was last time i checked into mexico or cruised mexico-- if you do your research you will see i am currently in mexico. have been since 2011. so what is your point. are you merely being a troll???? my friends consist of port captains and other govt representatives as well as mexicans of other skills and some few gringos and a goat.
i buy insurance annually via novamar a company with feet in mexico approved for our use. it works and is not pricey. neither is ace, another mexican company.
of course you CAN buy boat screw us and see how many other policies you will need to be legal in mexico. i came here with progressive ins and was schooled in ensenada by port capt regarding the need for using a company with feet in mexico. must follow the regulations. you are not entering usa.

Thanks @zeehag. I am not obtaining this from BoatUS, they have a partner in Mexico for liability insurances. It is insured by that partner, which is based in Mexico. My question is really on the amount.

Any suggestion between $50k/$100k/$100k or $100k/$300k/$100k?

i get the least i can for less money out....

I have received a quote from novamar yesterday for $440 per year for $100,000 and $330 for $50,000 Mex liability insurance.
Does this sound like the going rate??

donot need a license to get liability ins for a boat.
if you drive a car you need a license to get insurance for a car.
