Let me get this straight. You are on a BVI registered charter boat and go to the USVI and got charged the harbor fee and environmental fee? The environmental fee is supposed to be on original entry.

After clearing in to BVIs from USVI many times, I'm pretty sure the fees are calculated by multiplying the number of days until the next full moon by the number of passengers in the last boat to clear in, then adding the number of posts on the last Boatyball thread on TTOL. Seems about right.

Pre Irma they did not have a harbor fee and customarily environmental tax not triggered again. I believe on a big poster at EIS, this is also stated not to be paid twice. Government greed is not limited to USA.

Given that BVI customs offices notoriously require cash payment, one can just imagine how darned difficult it is to account for every 20 $ bill.
Not true - I've used credit cards for years.
