I jumped on to Noonsite to check cruising fees for private vessels and stumbled upon this:

“Fees in the BVI are reported to change with
some officials in some ports charging private
yachts extra and excessive fees. If you
question a fee being charged contact the
Ports Authority and keep all receipts.”

This seems very sketchy that this can happen at certain ports. Does anyone know what ports and why? The last thing I’d want to do after clearing is waste my time attempting to resolve an issue such as this.

Im already hiring a private water taxi to transport my family to maximize our time together (8 days) and I now have to worry about not being treated fairly or gouged upon entry a week before my family arrives. I can’t change my mind and cancel the water taxi if I decide to depart BVI due to this treatment.

Given where we would be making landfall our port of entry would most likely be Spanishtown.
