Agrimsrud, it is not the cost of the charter. We were just surprised this year when the cruising tax was so high. We have been going to the BVI's since 1995. We sometimes go 2-3 times a year. We had never seen an increase of such a large amount. I always read CaptainJay's remarks, and I think he gives excellent advice. My thoughts are to spend more time in the USVI this year and spend less money in the BVI. This would include provisioning on St. Thomas. Just my small way to protest the ways they are grabbing for money. Good plan! Jay's outline is a good one. There is also the option to head west to the SVI which he doesn't describe in this post. Between USVI and SVI I think there is plenty of very nice places to go that don't involve paying fees that seem unreasonable on the BVI side.
Life's short - sail more!
