Unless they have changed something. The USVI website currently states anyone arriving by vessel or air. Also Smith Ferry’s would disagree with you. And Dolphin Water Taxi will too.

Now if you are talking about sailing from the BVIs to the mainland of the US I do not know. Your statement at the end confuses me. Because I’m not talking about traveling by vessel to the US Mainland. I’m talking about traveling to The USVI by vessel and I’m 100% positive at this current time you are required to have one of the 3 approved tests.

If you have evidence of something that proves that to be incorrect please link or share it.

Thank you!
