Owners FAQ

The questions U.S. owners actually ask.

Can I be invoiced through a U.S. entity?+
Yes. Velport is operated by a U.S.-registered company. We provide standard U.S. invoicing with W-9 available, and accept wire transfers and domestic payments — which simplifies vendor onboarding for LLC-owned vessels and insurance claims.
How far is Ensenada from California?+
About 60 nautical miles south of San Diego — a comfortable single-day passage. Many owners bring the boat down in the morning and fly or drive back the same day.
What do I need to enter Mexico with my vessel?+
A valid Temporary Import Permit (TIP) and standard vessel documentation. Our team walks you through the paperwork before you leave the dock, so arrival is a formality, not a project.
How will I know what's happening with my boat?+
Every project gets photo documentation and a weekly progress report by WhatsApp, Telegram or email, plus direct access to the project supervisor. You can also visit the yard any time — you have unrestricted access.
Which paint systems do you apply?+
Awlgrip, Alexseal and PPG professional marine systems, applied in controlled environments to guarantee proper cure and finish quality.
Is the yard secure for long-term stays?+
Yes. The facility is fully enclosed, guarded 24/7 with video surveillance and controlled access. Owners and crew retain unrestricted access; unauthorized entry is strictly prevented.
