Private boats are required to clear out of the USVI if they have come from another country. In my case I come from the BVI to the USVI. For short stays customs in the USVI will check you in and out at the same time avoiding the need to come back. I have swapped out crew on those short stays. I am told now that if there is any change in crew a vessel must clear out separate from the clearing in process. This would be a hassle when dropping off and picking up passengers. Anyone know the actual rule? The same thing would apply if you have a boat delivered to the USVI which is a option I am thinking about. You would have to clear out after picking up the boat.
