Practical
Position is the Pichilingue ferry terminal in OpenStreetMap. The office is inside the terminal building (renewals at the far right as you face it); take the bus from the Malecón bus station or a taxi. Hours quoted by Club Cruceros (undated, verify locally): Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat 7:00 am-3:00 pm; Tue and Thu 7:00 am-6:00 pm; Sun 8:30 am-4:30 pm; a renewal note gives 9:00 am start. Cost about USD 60 (verify locally); pay in pesos, dollars or card. Bring passport, immigration document, boat registration/documentation, hull ID number, engine and outboard serial numbers and dinghy proof; for renewals bring the old TIP. One TIP per boat in the owner's name. A 2026 marina-association guide says TIPs issued from April 1, 2026 are valid 5 years with multiple entries and can be applied for online 7-60 days before arrival at banjercito.com.mx (older TIPs were 10-year). You must cancel the TIP in person at a Banjercito office when the boat leaves Mexico for good.
