The folks at Voyage told me they had paid for the license and all was good. I got my license this week from the Conservation and Fisheries dept as usual. They did send an attachment with a "VI catch reporting form" that he said I could email back in.
My guess is the government just want some more money. I don't think they are going to arrest me because we haven't marked up the boat or complied with all the other requirements you guys have read. I will find out next week.
Im curious has anyone chartering in the BVI ever been checked? Ive been several times a year since 1999 and have always trolled as I sailed and have never seen any enforcement or heard of anyone getting stopped except for the guy from stt a few years ago but he wasn't chartering.

I always buy a license and have never been checked.
That said, I will not break the law to fish.

I called and ask and they said the boat license was only valid if the boat is properly marked like a 120 foot cannery ship.
