If anyone has any contacts with the folks running the islands or in the odd chance someone from the BVI leadership is listening. Why not slightly raise the charter or cruising permit cost and include "recreational fishing" say less than 3-5 fish in possession per boat to the charter/cruising permit. The folks processing the fishing paperwork could be redirected to making sure all the boats and visitors have the proper single document paperwork needed for visiting yachtsman. Flame me all you want. But, single simpler paperwork that raises the same or reasonably justifiable revenue from visitors is better all around. Make it clear and simple either you paid your tax to be on holiday visiting or you did not. Either recreational fishing is welcome or it is not.
How about you don't raise the cruising permit cost since not everyone cares about fishing and everyone complains when costs go up. If you want to fish, knock yourself out and pay for your own license. Don't try to spread your cost out to the rest of us.
