onlymedication said: possibly even provisioned... Errrm ... nuh. John is not a "shopping" kind of guy. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" /> But yes, he is the salt of the Earth. You couldn't ask for a nicer fellow to deal with and this sort of thing is right up his alley. He doesn't do term charters and prefers one day (same day) type deals. On the boat in the morning, back home with his family that night. As an aside, John and his family are also the proud owners of Virgin Canopy Tours.

CoolChange said: I'm looking for someone to deliver my Lagoon 450 from Road Town to St Thomas when I visit and return it when I leave. I'm tired of taking the ferries. Do you know someone qualified you could recommend? The simplest way to do this would be to have the captain take the boat to Red Hook. Put it in a slip and he can take the ferry back. This could be done on the morning of your arrival. It is likely that you will get in late afternoon and end up spending the night in Red Hook. There is a good grocery store across the street from the marina and plenty of places to eat as well. On return you could likely set up to pick up the captain and have him sail with you back to Red Hook. You get off the boat and he can sail it back. It is going to cost you two days of skipper pay and the slip for a night in Red Hook. Obviously for you since you own the boat this is your best option. For anyone else following along you can just rent a boat from St Thomas from us at CYOA or Island Yachts in Red Hook and accomplish the same thing without the skippers pay. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />

GeorgeC1 said: That is a very different answer then what I got less then a month ago from US customs. There was another thread about this and I like the idea. I asked at customs about doing this. There answer was a skipper working for hire would need a green card and the proper licenses. Now if he does not disclose that and is just bringing the boat over as a friend then I see no issues. You could always pay him for getting the boat ready in the BVI but not for the delivery. At least that's my plan! G Why not a US skipper grabbing the boat in Tortola and bringing it back to US waters?
