Ahoy,
We are setting sail in a week or so and am getting mixed signals on entry into BVI and best practice.
For our entry into BVI, it's pretty simple. Due to flights and schedules, we are flying to SJU the night before, staying in hotel then taking Cape Air (I think) from SJU to EIS in the morning and meeting boat at Scrub. Easy.

For departure it's a little more complicated:

I had thought the BVI and USVI had figured stuff out for charter boats and going back and forth. We had thought our boat would be able to sail us to STT at end of our charter and drop us off so we could catch flight home from STT for simplicity and cost.

We are now being told that customs isn't allowing charter boats to go back and forth, nor letting our crew sail over to STT, clear us in and drop us off to get to airport. What's the latest issue? Is this an industry wide issue or just one for our boat specifically? I don't get it. Any advice appreciated. Thanks!
