Direct Water Taxi between San Pedro & Chetumal

From Ambergris Today:

San Pedro Belize Express' newest water vessel arrived in San Pedro on Wednesday, October 21, in preparation for the company's scheduled trips to Chetumal, Mexico. The water taxi company will introduce a new run to our neighboring city of Chetumal, making our commutes easier, cheaper and more convenient.
The new schedule to Chetumal will commence on Friday, October 30, 2009. Customs officials will be on hand at both docking stations in San Pedro (Ambergris Diver’s Dock) and Mexico (Chetumal Municipal Pier) to process regular passport procedures and customs checks (the same procedure you go through at the Belize-Mexico Border in Corozal).

The vessel has a carrying capacity of 100 passengers and reservations are required. Trips are set for weekends only (Friday – Sunday) and leaves San Pedro at 8:30 a.m. and leaves Chetumal at 3:00 p.m. San Pedro Belize Express is offering a special price for the month of November of $40US round trip and the set price after the promotion is $55US round trip. For more information call 226-3535 or 223-2225.

Hi there,

I found your blog when googling on watertaxi from Chetumal to San Pedro. Thank you for this information! I am holding Indonesian passport and I will visit San Pedro from Chetumal. According to Belize consulate, I can obtain visa on arrival on the border. I am just wondering whether that will be the same if I use water taxo transport. Will the Belize Customs officials in Chetumal Municipal Pier issue visa or will the visa issued in Ambergris Diver’s Dock? Thank you in advance for your help!
