The tax on cruising yacht is slated to go way up. USVI yachts will be paying big time to come to the BVI. Government continues to tax everything. Air will be next. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

WOW! Tripple for BVI boats and X4 for USVI based boats. Family of 4 for 10 days out of the USVI will pay $640 plus Parks Trust fees. Oh yes, plus another $10/person "environment fee".
Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. - Mark Twain

What are the new fees? Looking at what you posted a Cat with 10 people would pay over 1300 dollars all in for 7 days coming from the USVI? Moorings are going to get busy in the USVI! I predict a small economic boom in the SVI!

Any idea when they would implement the increases? We are scheduled in July. Would not be a deal breaker but would rather spend the money with the locals rather than give it to the government.
