JVD is pretty easy check in -- Sopers Hole not too bad either - yes do IN and Out at that time - only the Captain needs to appear with all forms and passports.. Cruz Bay is easiest if you pick up a mooring outside and dinghy in - everyone must appear at C&I - mooring free in the day time, $26 - Christmas Cove is a better overnight for a Red Hook morning arrival in many ways except for the dining and bars available in Cruz Bay. Anchor or free moorings in Great St James.
