Acapulco Port Captain

16° 50.9′ N · 99° 54.4′ W · approximate

The Capitanía de Puerto on the north side of the main bay, facing Vicente's moorings.

Practical

Approximate: set near the Malecón on the north shore as Practical Sailor describes; confirm the street address locally. Cruiser reviews (noforeignland) rate check-in as frequently difficult: visitors are often sent to a marina to check in instead, which causes confusion. Bring copies of every document. Acapulco officials advised one 2026 skipper to do the international clear-out at Puerto Chiapas instead.
