The flotilla of charter boats relocating to the British Virgin Islands after new fees were introduced in June will take with it nearly $14 million in seasonal economic activity, U.S. Virgin Island industry officials said. It may be only the start.
As the 2025-26 tourism sailing season starts, at least 90 boats previously positioned in the USVI will operate from the BVI, sailing off with an estimated $13.986 million in direct financial activity, said Kennon Jones, executive director of the Virgin Islands Professional Charter Association.
The downstream economic loss could be much higher once the industry’s ancillary spending is considered. The 90 boats represent at least 180 crew, plus potential shoreside employees like managers, bookkeepers, marketers, and more.
“… At the very minimum, and that’s just the lost direct economic spend, which is then multiplied throughout the economy – the cleaning company that is now going to be down 50%, for example, has 50% less revenue to spend on their groceries, business expansion, travel, entertainment, et cetera,” Jones said. “Cleaning, provisioning, flowers, maintenance, laundry, and the trickle down, or lack thereof.”
When introduced, BVI lawmakers partially justified the fee increases because they hadn’t changed in so long, more than 30 years in some cases.
Jones said the actual increases implemented went far beyond reasonable changes due to inflation. The 1992 fee per term charter under 115 feet was $800. Adjusted for 2025, that fee would be a little more than $1,875. The new fee is $7,500 — an increase of more than 837% and nearly 300% above what could reasonably be attributed to inflation, he said.
Day sailing charters and dive boats got hit even harder, with the fee going from $200 to $8,500 — a 4150% increase that is more than 1,710% higher than an increase based solely on inflation, Jones said.
“The BVI’s goal is, it seems, is to bring all charter business to the BVI and prevent charters based in the USVI from operating in the BVI. While they won’t ever openly prohibit USVI based vessels, they will continue to make it either prohibitively expensive, prohibitively bureaucratic or, a combination of both in order to effectively make it not worth it to operate in the BVI,” he said.
Some charter operators told the Source they were planning on cutting the BVI out of their normal tours. Others, with more boats, said spreading the fees across their fleet but that, ultimately, the consumer will pay for it.
While the USVI has plenty to offer vacationing boaters, it’s a different product from the BVI. Somewhat paradoxically, the American islands — often portrayed as rowdier than the relatively sedate British islands — appeal to boaters content to visit beautiful beaches and snorkel.
With similarly lovely beaches and water activities, the BVI has spent decades building up unique, grassroots bars and restaurants that appeal specifically to boaters. Recent USVI rivals to these attractions — like LimeOut, Pizza Pi, and Lovango — are excellent, Jones said, but can’t approach the BVI’s boater-bar favorites, some of which border on the legendary: the Soggy Dollar, Foxy’s, the Willie T, Marina Cay, the Last Resort, and more.
Jones pleaded for the USVI to add boating infrastructure of another kind as well. The territory doesn’t have shipyard and repair facilities that could service the charter fleet. The BVI has two: Nanny Cay and Virgin Gorda Yacht Harbor.
“To be competitive, the USVI desperately needs a world class shipyard and haul out facility. The USVI loses untold millions in business in this sector alone to the BVI each year simply because we do not have the infrastructure in place. Extending EDA benefits as proposed in the Marine Revitalization Act to potential developers of such a facility hopefully can finally get one going. Previous proposals and ideas attached for facilities at Havensite and/or the old Cancryn school,” Jones said.
The COVID-19 pandemic shook up the Virgin Islands charter industry — with the BVI restricting visitors and the USVI remaining largely open. It shattered what had been a symbiotic inter-island relationship, Jones said.
Putting all the boats in one spot won’t work, he said. There is simply not enough room in the BVI to add all of the USVI’s charter vessels and crew. Jones said it would be very difficult for the USVI charter industry to survive without easy access to the BVI.
“Neither territory has enough space for all of the charter yachts — bareboat and crewed. The long term solution is creating a Greater Virgin Islands Sailing Zone that facilitates travel and business between the two territories creating the best possible experience for guests,” Jones said.
The cost of doing business in the BVI goes beyond the usage fees. Some USVI vessels have been waiting months for their Commercial Recreational Vessel Licenses, Jones said.
“Few, if any, have been processed and there is little communication or update from the BVI side. Yet another layer of unnecessary uncertainty put on USVI business that are trying as much as they can to comply with the BVI’s new structure,” he said.
It’s not the first hiccup in inter-island charter commerce paperwork, Jones said.
“Before COVID, to take charter guests from the USVI to the BVI, all you had to do was go to BVI Customs, fill out standard paperwork, pay fees, and then off you went,” he said. “You simply entered the territory, did your paperwork, and paid the fees as is the normal process.”
But for the 2022-2023 season, the BVI started requiring a BVI Trade License — essentially a business license — and BVI Work Permits for any foreign-based vessel that wanted to bring charter guests into the BVI, Jones said.
“There was a massive effort to comply with this at the time by USVI-based businesses fueled by typical confusing and contradictory requirements from BVI officials. Ultimately, the BVI realized they had created a giant bureaucratic mess that they didn’t have the systems or manpower to process and ultimately cancelled the trade license and work permit requirement for that season,” he said.
Today, Jones said, foreign-based charter vessels must use a BVI agent, an additional cost of between $3,500 and $5,000, to obtain a BVI Commercial Recreational Vessel License.
“With these new fees, a typical USVI-based 56 foot catamaran accommodating eight guests with two crew is looking at over $100,000 in fixed licensing, fees, and government costs — not including variable costs such as provisions, diesel, slip fees, cleaning, maintenance, etc.,” he said.
By comparison, the same boat based in the BVI would see around $25,000 in costs.
It is now significantly cheaper to operate only in the BVI for tax reasons as well, he said. The BVI has no business income tax. Reducing gross receipts to 0% as proposed in the Marine Revitalization Act would be significant to leveling the playing field, Jones said.
Taxes aside, some Virgin Islands operators predicted the bureaucratic storm coming shortly after Sept. 11, 2001, when red tape and chain-link fences started plaguing ports of entry.
Mike Fury, captain of the day-sailing Fury Charters, watched changes in government regulations closely. He stopped chartering to the BVI in 2006, when U.S. Customs and Border Protection implemented new rules at the U.S. border. Before then, Captain Mike, as he’s known, would simply fax in photos of his passengers’ passports. When new regulations required in-person check-ins and additional paperwork, he quit the border altogether.
“It became a hassle,” he said.
Fort Frederik in Frederiksted will be restored with a $750,000 federal grant. (Photo courtesy DPNR)
The Department of Planning and Natural Resources has secured a $750,000 federal grant to support critical preservation and restoration at the Fort Frederik National Historic Landmark Site Museum in Frederiksted, Commissioner Jean-Pierre L. Oriol announced in a press release Tuesday.
The funding comes from the National Park Service’s Semi-Quincentennial Grant Program, a competitive initiative established by Congress in 2020 to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the United States. The program supports restoration of sites listed on the National Register of Historic Places that reflect the nation’s founding history, according to the press release.
Fort Frederik played a pivotal role during the American Revolution, serving as a safe harbor for trade while the island was still under Danish rule. Merchants and planters from St. Croix maintained strong connections to the thirteen colonies, contributing profits from sugar and rum exports to support military operations and sustain the Continental Army, the press release stated.
According to the release, the grant will fund a three-year project that includes roof repairs, masonry and plaster restoration of the fort’s walls, stables and bell tower, electrical and plumbing upgrades, improved security systems, new guardrails and accessibility enhancements. Work is expected to begin in late December or early January 2026.
“We are thrilled to receive this funding to restore Fort Frederik Museum,” Oriol said. “This site is a cornerstone of our cultural heritage, and DPNR remains committed to preserving historic landmarks for future generations.”

A St. Croix woman is facing charges of child abuse after police say she allegedly burned the hand of a minor living in her home. An investigation into the matter began Sunday after investigators responded to a home in Estate Grove Place.
Charges of assault and child abuse were filed against 52-year-old Shelva Smith on Sept. 28. A 12-year-old minor was transported to the Juan F. Luis Hospital for treatment of second-degree burns to the hand.
A relative who placed the call to authorities said she encountered the victim, who came to her home with injuries, saying the accused pressed his hand into a lit stove burner.
The minor told the relative the action may have been linked to a phone call Smith received, accusing the victim of theft.
The witness said there were also other incidents between the accused and the minor that prompted her to contact the Human Services Department about suspected child abuse.
Police also interviewed an emergency room physician who examined the victim. The doctor described the injuries, saying the minor was at risk of losing partial use of the hand without further treatment.
Smith made an initial appearance in Superior Court on Monday before Magistrate Judge Venetia Velazquez. The judge set bail at $3,000 and ordered that the victim in the case be relocated from the home where the incident occurred.
Cape Air announced Wednesday it is expanding service with four new routes, including a first-ever connection between St. Thomas and St. Barthélemy, marking what the airline described as historic growth in its regional network.
The commuter airline said the new service builds on its role as a leader in regional aviation by enhancing connectivity in the Northeast and Caribbean. All new routes are now open for booking.
“This is a significant moment for Cape Air,” said Aaron Blinka, the airline’s vice president of planning. “Each new route reflects our commitment to thoughtful, strategic growth — connecting more communities with smarter, more convenient travel options. Whether it’s streamlining access to major hubs like Boston, offering new links to the islands, or expanding our Caribbean presence, this is Cape Air building the future of regional air travel.”
The airline’s most notable expansion in the Caribbean begins Oct. 20, when Cape Air launches twice-daily flights between St. Thomas and St. Barthélemy. The route provides direct service between two high-demand destinations, giving travelers an alternative to private charters or ferry transfers.
Alexandra Questel, president of the Territorial Tourism Board of Saint-Barthélemy, welcomed the launch. “The opening of this new route between St. Thomas and St. Barth represents a meaningful step forward for regional connectivity,” Questel said. “This new connection simplifies travel, supports local tourism, and brings our Caribbean communities even closer together.”

Under the Monday afternoon sun at Fishman Family Field, Antilles’ Middle School Boys Blue Team put together another complete flag football performance, blanking St. John’s Gifft Hill School 33-0.
The victory marked the second consecutive shutout for coach Dariyan Griffin’s squad, which improved to 2-0 after opening the season with a similar result against Bertha C. Boschulte Middle School.
Antilles’s parents endured the heat for what proved to be a worthwhile display of young talent.
Max Martinez ran the offense with three touchdown passes. He opened the scoring with a 10-yard strike to Tucker Edwards, then found himself on the receiving end when Edwards returned the favor with a touchdown toss of his own. Martinez added a third scoring pass, connecting with Sami Asfour from 15 yards out. With all extra points converted, Antilles built a 21-0 advantage.
The Martinez magic extended to the defensive side of the ball when Cameron Martinez, Max’s brother, picked off a pass and took it back for a touchdown. Kolin Sammy also made his presence felt with two interceptions that shut down Gifft Hill’s offensive drives.
Gifft Hill was held scoreless throughout the contest, giving Antilles Blue Team a 33-0 victory.
Up next for the Antilles program: The Grey team (A team) faces All Saints on Wednesday, at 4 p.m. and St. John’s Julius E. Sprauve School on Saturday, at 11:30 a.m., both at Lionel Roberts Stadium.
The Blue and Grey teams will square off in an intrasquad matchup on Wednesday, Oct. 8, at 4 p.m. at Antilles School’s Fishman Family Field.
Kids can catch fish and win prizes, too! The Virgin Islands Game Fishing Club’s annual Kids Fishing Tournament will take place on Saturday, Oct. 4. Check-in at IGY’s American Yacht Harbor Marina in Red Hook, St. Thomas starts at 8 a.m. Fishing is from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., with Awards presented at Noon. Kids aged 14 years and younger can register for FREE at www.vigfc.com. Space is limited this year. The first 100 kids will receive a free event T-shirt. Handlines, buckets, and bait will be provided.

“The love for fishing starts from a young age. Our Kids Fishing Tournament gives young people, aged 14 and under, a chance to showcase their skills, bring their winning fish to the scales, and be announced as the top angler. Fishing teaches patience and the understanding that not every day will be a catching day. It is great to see the families come out with the kids to support and encourage them. Most of our members started fishing with their parents, just as I did. We put on this annual tournament to help keep that love and interest going with our future generations,” says TP Danet, tournament co-director.
The catch will be officially weighed by the Department of Planning and Natural Resources’ Fish & Wildlife Division professionals. Kids are encouraged to be conservation-conscious and release their catch after it has been weighed.
There will be free pizza sponsored by Island Time Pub, and drinks and snacks after fishing and before the Awards. The Kids Fishing Tournament is sponsored by the Virgin Islands Game Fishing Club, American Yacht Harbor Marina, Lattes in Paradise, DPNR’s Fish & Wildlife, Neptune Fishing Supplies, and the Island Time Pub. Additional sponsorship is welcome. For more information, call (340) 775-9144 or Email: usvigfc@gmail.com
A 26-year-old man was arrested Saturday after police and federal agents executed a search warrant at his residence and recovered firearms, ammunition, marijuana, drug paraphernalia and cash, the Virgin Islands Police Department reported.
Members of the VIPD Special Response Team, with support from the Special Operations Bureau, Traffic Bureau, Domestic Violence Unit and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, searched the home of Deandre Sylvester following information about illegal drug sales at the property, according to the police report.
Police said Sylvester was arrested, booked and processed. He was charged with illegal possession of unlicensed firearms, illegal possession of ammunition, possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. Bond was set at $50,000. Unable to post bail, Sylvester was remanded to the Bureau of Corrections.
A 44-year-old man was arrested Monday night after a domestic altercation in Christiansted ended with a stabbing, the Virgin Islands Police Department reported.
At about 8:30 p.m., patrol officers responded to a residence where they found an adult male victim with a stab wound to his right forearm. The victim told police that Amono Ysidore stabbed him after a verbal argument escalated into a physical fight. According to the victim, the dispute began over a cellphone charger Ysidore could not locate, police said.
Police said Ysidore admitted to assaulting the victim. He was advised of his Miranda rights and arrested on a charge of third-degree assault, domestic violence. Ysidore was taken to the John A. Bell Adult Correctional Facility pending his advice of rights hearing.

Exhibiting Artist: Entes (Joan Jiménez Suero)
Exhibition title: BARRIO BEATS: TALES OF RHYTHM AND DANCE
Exhibition opening event: Saturday Oct. 11, 5 p.m.-midnight
Exhibition On-view through January, 2026 at 81C – St ThomasArtwork by Entes (Joan Jiménez Suero)
Barrio Beats: Tales of Rhythm and Dance features new work by internationally recognized artist Entes (Joan Jiménez Suero), whose visual language moves to the pulse of diasporic memory, Afro-Latin identity, and the everyday rhythms of urban life. A celebration of movement, gesture, and community, this solo exhibition offers a vibrant exploration of how sound and dance become forms of connection, remembrance, and resistance.
Known globally for his murals and public works across the Americas, Europe, and the Caribbean, Entes brings his signature style—layered color, gestural forms, and textured surfaces—into a gallery setting with a dynamic presentation of paintings, sculpture, print, and mixed media. His subjects—figures in motion, neighborhood scenes, communal gatherings—express not only cultural vitality, but also the unspoken resilience found in daily life.
At the heart of the exhibition is Calle Ocho, the iconic Miami corridor reimagined as a symbolic crossroads. Through it, Entes weaves together the threads of Afro-Peruvian roots, Caribbean rhythms, and urban experiences into a shared visual tapestry. The barrio he evokes—both real and imagined—becomes a space of migration, memory, and celebration.
Curated by Odette Casamayor-Cisneros and 81C Arts, the exhibition positions movement as a universal language. In Entes’s world, rhythm is not escape—it is transmission. It is joy as resilience. It is the beat of belonging.
– The Curators, 81C Arts
Artist Statement:
“I paint, sculpt, and create from the street and for the street. My work grows out of Afro-Peruvian heritage and the urban landscapes that have shaped me—Lima, Miami, and every barrio where rhythm, struggle, and celebration coexist. These places are more than backdrops; they are living archives of memory, resilience, and collective imagination. What drives me is movement. Gesture, rhythm, and dance carry stories that words cannot. Neighbors gathering to share food, a grandmother evoking ancestral rhythms, youth improvising to reggaetón—each body in motion is both memory and resistance. My work tries to honor those everyday gestures, transforming them into spaces where dignity and joy are visible, tangible, and felt.
I do not believe that joy is escape. Joy is survival. It is a radical form of resilience that keeps our communities alive. Through layered color, texture, and rhythm, I aim to build visual worlds where that collective joy becomes undeniable.
This exhibition is an invitation to move together. To listen to the beat of our shared streets, to feel the pulse of diaspora and memory, and to imagine futures where we recognize ourselves in one another.”
– Entes (Joan Jiménez Suero) – Miami – September, 2025Curator’s Statement:
In a world increasingly fractured by social division and global precarity, Entes (Joan Jiménez Suero) invites us to move together—reconnecting through rhythm, gesture, and collective memory. Through his Afro-Peruvian lens and more than two decades of visual experimentation, Jiménez constructs a contagious grammar of rhythm, community, and belonging. His work reminds us that movement is a universal language, and that collective joy can be a powerful form of resilience.
Living and working between Lima and Miami, Entes creates from the street and for the street. His art is rooted in the urban landscape—not only as a subject but as a state of mind, a repository of memory, and a horizon of possibility. Through painting, sculpture, print, and graffiti, he celebrates the complexity and multiplicity of Afro-Latin American identities while interrogating the structural inequalities that shape them. His layered surfaces, vibrant palettes, and gestural forms transform the everyday into scenes of dignity and resistance.
Entes’s visual world pulses with the vibrant gestures of everyday life: the cobradora collecting fares, men and women absorbed in their thoughts, dancers swaying to a music so vividly rendered that the viewer can almost hear the beat, and communal gatherings where food and sound become rituals of belonging. Each figure, each scene, holds the weight of memory and the rhythm of a people in motion. His work gives form to urban intimacy—an embodied knowledge forged through neighborhood belonging, shared resilience, and everyday survival.
At the heart of this exhibition is Calle Ocho (8th Street), the iconic Miami corridor reimagined by Entes as an allegorical space of connection. It becomes a cartography of transnational Blackness, where the histories of Afro-Peruvian migration meet Caribbean pulse, U.S. urban flows, and Latinx cultural memory. Here, diasporic stories, generational memory, and spontaneous celebration converge in a dance that transcends boundaries. The barrio he conjures—imagined, remembered, and real—is both deeply local and expansively hemispheric.
For Entes, dance is not performance—it is transmission. Each moving body—whether a grandmother evoking ancestral rhythms or a youth improvising to reggaetón—becomes an archive. His visual practice positions movement as both remembrance and refusal, a declaration that Black and Brown bodies are not merely visible, but felt, storied, sovereign.
This multisensory exhibition brings together a curated selection of paintings, sculptures, and mixed media works that span Entes’s evolving practice. Viewers are invited into a textured experience of layered color, sound, gesture, and memory—encountering not only the tempo of the streets, but also the spirit of communities long misrepresented or ignored. In Entes’s hands, rhythm is not an escape—it is the blueprint for reimagined futures.
