Thanks…but AIS uses a transponder that broadcasts via DSC over VHF. There is no subscription service. And is required for ships over certain sizes…which I can’t remember, and is optional for others. Seems to be a lot of boats in the BVI transmitting AIS. And seems more than would be without charter boats. You can monitor, or look up any boat by name at: myshiptracking.com
You can use a smartphone to send simulated AIS data to Marine Traffic . Load the mAIS App from Google Play Store and away you go. Don't know if there is an apple equivalent.
