  • MARINA REQUIREMENTS

    We would like to make you aware of some important legal information related to boating and fishing in Costa Rica to make your stay with us as easy and enjoyable as possible. Following you will find important information concerning your entrance into Costa Rican waters and Los Sueños Marina.

    INITIAL ENTRY INTO COSTA RICA

    Upon your initial entry into the country, you will receive a Temporary Permit for your boat, called the Certificado de Importación Temporal from the Ministry of Finance and Customs (in Spanish, Ministerio de Hacienda y Aduana). This permit is valid for up to three months and can not be renewed. Once the permit has expired, you will need to leave the country, as Customs will not make any exceptions for renewal.

    If you are planning to keep your boat in Costa Rica for more than three months, the vessel must apply for an extended cruising permit from the Department of Transportation Maritime Division MOPT (in Spanish, Ministerio de Obras Públicas y Transportes MOPT).
    Further details can be provided by contacting the Marina office.

    As the first a government-sanctioned Marina, a slip use agreement with Los Sueños Marina will allow you to apply for an extended cruising permit. If you are just arriving to our Country, it is important for you to know as a government-sanctioned Marina; Los Sueños Marina is also considered an official port of entry; however you must contact an agent in advance (48 hours min) in order to coordinate an official visit by the corresponding government authorities.

    Our suggested agent is Ernesto Andrade.
    Ernesto can be reached by email at eandrade@ice.co.cr
    or by telephone at (506) 2661-0948 office, or (506) 8811-7290 cell.

    Local law prohibits non-Costa Rican flagged boats from operating as commercial charters. Please be aware that government authorities are very strict in this regard, and officials make regular inspections of Los Sueños Marina. Foreign vessels found chartering could be impounded.
