Hello everyone, CYOA is not the problem, the problem is the BVI government agencies that are not in sync with each other. The tourism department says borders are open and all are welcome. Shipping Registry says foreign based charter boats are not permitted at this time. HM Customs says that they are not set up to admit foreign based bareboats "at this time". In some instances all three agencies have made conflicting public statements on the same day.

CYOA, like all St Thomas based bareboat companies, is working with the various agencies to find a path for our clients to return to the BVI. As soon as we do you will hear about it here on TTOL. When that happens our clients will be subject to the rules then in effect for return to the USVI which will probably include use of the USVI travel portal and submission of a negative test or proof of vaccination.

As of this week the use of ROAM has been discontinued temporarily by the US CPB to require all vessels entering the USVI from ANY non USVI port (this includes SVI) to personally appear at the US Customs dock in Cruz Bay, Charlotte Amalie or Christiansted.
