You can also use your NEXUS Card at Sentri lanes entering the US from Mexico.

Using Your NEXUS Card at Marine Crossings

NEXUS Boat

NEXUS members can use their NEXUS Cards to skip maritime inspection when travelling by private watercraft (aka pleasure boat). All people on the boat must have NEXUS Cards. If you are caught crossing the border by boat with someone in your boat who does not have a NEXUS Card, your membership may be revoked.

Canada and the US have slightly different ways of handling marine entries. See below for how to properly cross. If you are asked to appear for physical inspection you must comply or risk both the loss of your membership and fines and arrest.

 

Entering Canada with a NEXUS Card by Water

You can use your NEXUS Card at over 400 telephone reporting sites across Canada. When you enter into Canadian waters, you will have to immediately travel to one of these reporting sites where you will be connected to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Go here for the list.

 

Entering the United States with a NEXUS by Water

NEXUS Card holders are normally allowed to bypass reporting in person at a port of entry. Provided everyone in the boat has a NEXUS Card, the boatmaster can call in to Customs and Border Protection, instead, as if you were entering Canada. Go here for a list of all the reporting stations.
