Bringing my zodiac into baja
I know this subject has been posted many times but it seems like 2018 has new fees and regs?
Can I just go across at Mexicalli east pulling my 17' inflatable. Stop in INM get a TIP app for boat, then go to banjercito to pay for it? Same as
FMM?
If I have all my paperwork in order can it be simple?
DiscoverBaja says you have to start 2 weeks ahead of time with the application. We are planning on going Feb 8th. Come on veterans, is this
complicated or what? Anybody know the latest fees for boat entry?
thanks

Start two weeks early if you want them to do it for you or if relying on mail. Show up and you’ll be on your way quick. Bring copies of all
documents.

Just show up. Make sure you have original docs. They will want copies of all docs, but will demand to see the originals.
I learned this the hard way with a color copy of my coastguard certificate of documentation. I didn't even realize it was a copy, but the hawk eye at
banjercito did.

Legally your boat needs to be currently registered, tagged and numbered in your home State. Your trailer needs to be also... at least used to be when
crossing the border. You should have that paperwork with along with the usual lettuce.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!
86 - 45*

Last fall I crossed the border at San Felipe and heading to Gonzaga. I was told at the border that I did not need a TIP. Was I misinformed ?

Thanks for the link, but it seems a bit contradictory. First it states that ALL vessels need a TIP. Then when answering it's own question, it states
vessels greater than 4.5 meters can be temporarily imported. Based on this (and thanks for letting me play through), it seems an 11' Waverunner does
not need a TIP? Thanks again.
You gonna eat that?

Only places that ask for one are marinas when you are trying to rent a slip. At least that has been my experience.

You may not need a TIP for a tender to a boat (yacht) that has a TIP, even if its large than 4.5 meters.

Not true. If it is registered with the coast guard that is sufficient. Either a state OR CG registration. CG registration is cheaper. No annual
fee.
Trailer yes.

Even in CA I never registered it with the state. Just got the COD. Never an issue in the hundreds of times I took it out on the ocean. Maybe an
issue on a lake.
For MX, a COD works perfectly to get a 10 year TIP. No state registration required.
