For the last couple of trips (2017 and 2019) we have been chartering out of the USVI and sailing in the US and BVI. Lots of good things to say about that option.
But, As a result I have not been able to fish in the BVI since none of the US charter companies want to deal with the new BVI fishing regulations.
Next year, to celebrate 30 years of sailing in the BVI, we decided to head back to Roadtown and charter. We booked a 48 mono out of the Moorings, the place where it all started 30 years ago.
I happened to place an inquiry yesterday to Moorings about fishing from their boats only to find out they only register their catamarans[u][/u] If I want to fish I will need to move to a cat. (Did I happen to mention I prefer monohulls. (No need for a big discussion)) I must have missed this in the fine print.
I just was wondering what the other fishing/sailors have run into at other charter companies regarding the BVI boat fishing registrations.
