I had mine down for a year. Go through Discover Baja, they will get you set up.

Our neighbors found out last month thier boat left in Baja ---Insurance was not good with it just sitting onland unless it was hooked up to a vehicle
so it now sits with a truck hooked up to trailer. Not sure of Ins Co. But be sure to ck it out-- Just an FYI for you.

All Mexican insurance is for when the boat is being towed and must be hooked up to the tow vehicle. The only company that I have found that covers
the boat while in Mexico is Progressive. They usually want you to occasionally tow it out but if you leave it for extended periods of time your
coverage is good.
The only other option is the Lloyd's of London route with an American underwriter and broker but this is usually reserved for the large yachts and
is pretty pricey.

From my old crusing days, we always said that the best insurance was a bigger anchor.

Our sailboat (in the water, but it doesn't matter) has been insured for the past 10 years by Zurich. There are other companies, both Mexican and US
based, check Google. Zurich covered damage to our boat after Hurricane Marty and was great! Marinas require liability insurance for boats in their
marinas and you might check with a local marina for suggestions.
