Got a firm quote from Moorings yesterday for an 8 day charter(8 persons) in May 2019. Total BVI govt fees on the quote are $474.

Even with the cost of the ferry and the BVI departure saves you a little over a USVI. But add in the time and possible pain and suffering of the ferry ride and I think USVI still looks good for me.

I'll bet that just includes the Cruising Tax (8×$6/dayx7 actual cruising days = $336), Environmental fee (8×$10), and NP Permit ($45) = $461. Not sure what the extra $13 is for to get to $474. You'll also have to pay the $20 departure tax at the airport or ferry dock for total of $160 + $474 = $634.
