I had to create a new thread to inquire about this possible issue:

I jumped on to Noonsite to check current cruising fees for private vessels and stumbled upon this:

“Fees in the BVI are reported to change with
some officials in some ports charging private
yachts extra and excessive fees. If you
question a fee being charged contact the
Ports Authority and keep all receipts.”

Has anyone heard about this?

I certainly do not want to be blindsided with extra/excessive based on the whim of a C&I agent. And then have to waste time attempting to resolve this issue.

My first POE will most likely be Spanishtown as we are sailing from Sint Maarten.
