Default Boat insurance for Mexican waters?

Looks like I may be buying a US documented boat in Mexican waters.
It's way down south. Any idea how to buy basic liability insurance,
like if I sideswipe someone else's boat or something? Do you have to
have a survey? Thanks as always.


Try: http://www.mexpro.com/in_mexico/watercraft.php

Mexico requires all watercraft entering ports in Mexico to carry third
party "on the water" Mexican boat insurance liability coverage issued
by an authorized, admitted Mexican insurer. In the event of an
accident, if you do not carry authorized admitted liability coverage
then the vessel could be confiscated.
Mexican Watercraft Insurance offers extensive liability coverage.
The ACE Seguros Mexican boat insurance policy includes Legal Aid and
Bail Bond coverage.

No you do not need a survey for liability coverage.
