BOAT BUILDING IN MEXICO- rules and regs???

Hey, does anyone know who i need to talk to in order to build a boat in Mexico? What are the rules and regulations? I need to talk to the equivalent of the US Coast Guard, but in Mexico i guess. I also heard that the ABS is not involved down there.

Please let me know ASAP because I'm heading down to Mexico to build a vessel in less than a month.

Thanks,
James

    It will be a floating concert stage for spring break that I will want to get registered as a vessel in Mexico. It will only be used in Mexico. It will be about 50'X100' and pulled or pushed by a boat. Or it will have outboard motors on it. I plan to build it using JetFloat or a similar modular dock system. I will put sand on it to dress it up like a tropical island for people to enjoy while they watch a concert.

    This vessel will be used in calm waters and in the rough open ocean.

    I would like to operate this vessel in cabo san lucas, mexico.

    Thank you so much for helping me! Let me know if you need more information.

    Start off with contacting the Mexican consulate as well as the Ministry of Communications and Transportation.

    You are welcome, you may have to also work with the Federalis at some point as well, not sure. I don't think Mexico has a coast guard equivelent, the Navy would handle most matters there. Being a barge with people on it, I'm sure you will have to jump through some legal and insurance "hoops" as well.

    The Federalis is the Mexican law enforcement agency.
