If we want to be the vocabulary police. There are two issues with people fishing near the BVI. Any individual touching a pole or line much like the US must have their own BVI fishing license. Once you have an individual or personal fishing license only they can you fish from a boat that has taken the steps to register the actual vessel or hull as a "fishing vessel". The registration process and costs are different based on the size and flag of the vessel. As a person get you fishing licence then find a boat registered properly for you to fish from. A had personal angst with the nickle and dime confusion hard to do business with approach. I would prefer the BVI decide what they want people doing when they are on boats and bundle all of that in a single annual cruising fee for the boat.
