Been going to the Islands for 10 years and the only problem, if I can even call it that, was the first visit. It took a little while for me to realize what a different social culture exists on Island vs. the States. This was purely the result of my ignorance which I'm glad to say I quickly corrected...

Well, as expected, I quess it's shame on me for asking a question and pointing out some oddities in this whole Customs Fees deal. It would have been easier to understand, at least for me, if someone who had knowledge explained that there are actually several assorted fees that are included in the &q...

Capt John, Thanks for chimimg in. I don't think this should be confusing at all. Are those fees specific to a day cruising permit for the BVI or are some of them levied by the USVI or National park Authorities? Or do they all apply to Crusing to the BVI and USVI. I think it would be most helpful if ...

The ves...

From the information I have garner...

All great info thus far. I'm only interested in making certain I do what is required. I do not begrudge the boat operators some of the fee they charge for customs if they do get a % of it. I don't know that they do. I don't mind paying but like to know where and how my $ is being spent. And then the...

Went to several of their links about entry requirements and end up back at this one.I'm going to send them an e-mail in hopes of resolving...

What's the Real Deal w/Customs charges.
WE have been on many a boat trip to the BVI's and this year are planning to get dropped off on Jost and clear customs on our own. Question is, what is the customs fee? We have always just paid the boat crew the customs charges. Also I think it's a little odd that there is a charge into the BVI and n...
