See Mexico Formalities page for full details.

The port captain’s office is on Matamoros Street.

Customs & Immigration Office is located near Marina Cabo San Lucas. Transportation is recommended and can be arranged prior to arrivals. The Immigration fee is to be paid at a bank.

Many cruisers use an agent in Cabo San Lucas, which can be expensive, but many feels are necessary. Officials do not make it easy or convenient to clear into Cabo San Lucas and it can take two days to get all of the approvals.

Obtaining a Temporary Import Permit here, if this is your first Mexican port, is reported to be straightforward.

Stays for longer than 72 hours require a Tourist Visa, which is obtained upon the first arrival. The visa (non-immigrant) costs 210 pesos (US$21). Mexican immigration officials are able to provide a visa.

    Marina Puerto Los Cabos is much quieter than Cabo San Lucas. Facilities are in good condition, though there are only a couple of showers. Best to get a slip on the south side near the office, unless you want to dinghy across. Good restaurants are at the marina, on the north side of the marina, or in San Jose- about a mile walk or $15 taxi ride.

    Marina Cabo San Lucas is now managed by a sailor-friendly guy who is trying to attract cruisers. They are very helpful. Rates in 11/15 are about $80/night for a 40 ft vessel.
