Mexican Fishing License
Fishing License in Mexico: How to Obtain, Cost, and Key Details
Do I need a fishing license in Mexico?
Yes, all persons engaging in recreational fishing in Mexican waters require a fishing license issued by the Comisión Nacional de Acuacultura y Pesca (CONAPESCA), regardless of whether you are on a private boat, charter, or fishing from shore (in some states).
Typically:
-
Required for fishing from a boat.
-
Not always enforced for shore fishing, but recommended to avoid issues.
Where to buy a Mexican fishing license online:

Additional important regulations:
✅ Bag and possession limits apply, typically 10 fish per day with specific species restrictions (maximum 5 of the same species, 1 billfish, or 2 dorado/tuna/other larger pelagics per day).
✅ Spearfishing requires a license and is subject to special rules (no use of scuba, only free diving with fins/mask/snorkel).
✅ It is illegal to sell fish caught under a sport fishing license.
✅ In most cases, you do not need a boat permit if you are on a licensed charter; if using your own boat, you may need a separate Mexican boat permit for the vessel.
