La Cruz de Huanacaxtle - Clearance
See the main Mexico Formalities for detailed clearance information.
General Clearance:
Procedures are known to change but currently, all boats in the marina are to check in with the Port Captains. This office is located in the back offices between the Mercado del Mar and the shipyard.
Yachts at anchor should hail the office on VHF 16 to announce their arrival and confirm if the Port Captain would like them to come in.
The marina’s dinghy dock fee is not required to be paid if just visiting the Port Captain’s Office (see below for more information).
Clearing Out:
Check on arrival if the Port Captain wants to see you before you clear out. For international clearance see the Puerto Vallarta/ Banderas Bay page.
