You're right George.
In the last 6 years we've done half our trips in the SVI.
No boat import tax.
No cruising tax.
No national park tax.
Free fishing.
Free anchoring.
Free moorings.
No exit fees.
So I figure we save $600-$800 going to the SVI vs. the BVI.
That buys a lot of lobster!
All true plus very little infrastructure, very hard to impossible to find potable water, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico while part of the US has very deep budget and economic troubles. Enjoy it while you can. At some point someone will have to pay the tab that is running in and on Puerto Rico. In Florida all that would be taxed at 6% or more.
