Private cruising vessels with the owner onboard are not charged the same as charter boats but I have found several conflicting bits of information . As I understand it from Noonsite: First entry of the year they are charged a "net tonnage fee" of $45 and given 30 days to cruise. Any passengers not directly related to the owner pay the daily rate . After 30 days there is a $200 annual temporary import duty.
Back in 2008 there was a proposal to charge: - $1 per foot for the first day in BVI waters - $0.75 per foot for the second day - $0.50 per foot for EVERY day thereafter but I think I remember they chickened out but I have also heard of some boats being charged $1/foot/day as recently as this year..
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain
