We have just booked a bareboat charter out of Tortola for the end of 2019. This is our second bareboat with our first about 7 years ago.

One of the members of our party has to be back a day earlier and will be flying through STT. We are debating an itinerary that would swing us through Charlotte Amalie on their final day to drop them off and then head back to Tortola for our last night/day. As I understand it, we would have to go thru BVI customs, sail to Charlotte Amalie, then I would go thru USVI customs drop them off, turned around sail back to the BVI and go through BVI customs. Is that correct? Seems like a lot of work? Would paying for a ferry/taxi to take them from BVI to Charlotte Amalie be a better(only he goes thru customs) alternative? We initially thought we wanted the experience of going thru customers on a sailboat, but not sure. Any other suggestion?
