The authors, veterans of Mexican cruising, guide you through the intricacies of government paperwork, insurance, even crew selection and buddy boats. The second half comprises an alphabetical listing of equipment you’re likely to need including electrical, mechanical and navigational gear. Twenty-five years of cruising experience have gone into this comprehensive discussion of electrical, mechanical, and navigational gear. How do you select batteries, GPS, dinghies, and other essentials? What cost and maintenance factors are involved? Destination Mexico provides all the answers to these and all the other questions you are likely to ask when preparing for the Mexican cruise of your dreams.

“Our philosophy about preparing a boat to cruise Mexico is simple: Plan your cruise to Mexico, put whatever you can aboard, and go. Even if you can’t afford all the equipment listed in the pages of this book, you can still have a wonderful time, provided you’ve done all you can to assure that you and your guests will be safe.” - Carolyn and Bob Mehaffy.
