Only BVI-licensed vessels that have ministerial approval and have paid the fees may trade between two harbours, ports or anchorages. A waiver for a non-BVI vessel lasts at most 14 days. The limits do not apply to small cruise ships or licensed commercial recreational vessels. (Government of the Virgin Islands, 16 October 2025.) Check the rules for your passport.
