Like can I just jump in my boat and go? Do I have to alert any authority about my trip? What are the chances the coast guard boards my boat to search it? How do you find a marina in Mexico? Do I have to alert the Mexican government of my trip? I assume I need a passport.

This is to settle a very polite heated discussion between my partner and I. Where neither of us know what we’re talking about.

passport is bare minimum, but you need to get boat's papers in order. you gotta pay a visit to mexican consulate for that

putting some of these words in search engine of your preference should get you link like this: https://www.boatus.com/expert-advice/expert-advice-archive/2017/april/boaters-guide-to-crossing-the-border or like this https://consulmex.sre.gob.mx/vancouver/images/pdf/boat.pdf

"any vessel that leaves from a United States port and returns without calling at a foreign port or place has not departed the United States."

There goes my idea of running a gambling boat in international waters.

I'm not convinced the ideas are mutually exclusive. Then again I know nothing about maritime law arresteddevelopment.jpg
