Plan Ahead!!! Know before you go that the regulations and permits required for American boats traveling in/through Mexican waters have changed drastically in just the past three years. The permits required for both travel through and fishing in Mexican waters now are different permits, pretty steep $$, and can require some baksheesh to have done in any kind of timely fashion.
I had a parishioner get back in early October from taking his three teenaged grand-kids on his 36 Catalina Sloop to Turneffe, Belize, traveling along the Gulf coast, and he was pretty steamed about the hundreds of dollars he spent in permits and bribes in order to be allowed to leave when he touched shore both in Tampico and again in Vera Cruz. He decided to skip visiting Cozumel, and then returned to the US via the Caymans and then sailed direct to Destin.
