At Saba yesterday a bvi customs boat tied up to me and asked to see my papers. They were courteous and professional. I have no complaints. Took maybe ten minutes. I think they were making sure I had paid the necessary fees. Never had that happen before and for that matter it's the first time I have ever even seen a bvi govt boat of any kind.

I'd add, if it was charter, was it clearly marked?
We saw one of their boats once and they ignored us. I have a feeling they skip moorings/sunsail boats. - Maybe others that are clear BVI charter boats.

We had a BVI customs boat tie up to us at Copper Island one year. Like others said, 10 minutes, very polite. We also say them board a boat at Salt Island, after they left that boat, they just went by us and waved.
