If I live in Mississippi, and I want to drive a boat to Mexico, and back. What is the proper procedure for that? (lemmy.world)

Like can I just jump in my boat and go? Do I have to alert any authority about my trip? What are the chances the coast guard boards my boat to search it? How do you find a marina in Mexico? Do I have to alert the Mexican government of my trip? I assume I need a passport.

This is to settle a very polite heated discussion between my partner and I. Where neither of us know what we’re talking about.

"any vessel that leaves from a United States port and returns without calling at a foreign port or place has not departed the United States."

There goes my idea of running a gambling boat in international waters.

I'm not convinced the ideas are mutually exclusive. Then again I know nothing about maritime law arresteddevelopment.jpg
