Permits & Licenses

Passports are required on all trips
Our permit to fish the Mexican Islands stipulates that all passengers, and crew members must have a valid passport.

Royal Star fishing trips are all inclusive:

• Cost of Mexican Fishing Permits and Visas are included in fare.
• Cost of Mexican ISR and IVA taxes included in fare on all fly down trip.
• There will be an additional fee for any trips to Guadalupe.

• As unpredictable fluctuations in diesel fuel costs impact our price models, we believe in the fairest practice possible when it is necessary to surcharge Royal Star customers. A base price of $3.50 per gallon is included in all published fares. Any substantial increase in fuel cost will be calculated and added to fares using the following formula: price increase x estimated fuel usage during voyage divided by the number of anglers and length of voyage. Calculations will be based on each individual load of diesel purchased when surcharges are necessary.
• Advertised fares are cash discounted.

• All reservations are considered tentative until a 50% deposit is received.
• Stateroom assignments confirmed upon receipt of 50% deposit.
• All deposits are non-refundable unless cancellation is received ninety (90) days prior to departure date on trips one (1) to seven (7) days duration and one hundred eighty (180) days prior to departure on trips 8 days and longer.
• All deposits refunded are subject to a 10% administration fee. Should there be any substantial increase in the cost of fuel or Mexican fishing permits, we may find it necessary to impose a surcharge. If no deposit is received within 2 weeks of reservation, space becomes available to first depositing customer.
