For all customers travelling home from the BVI via St. Thomas (airport code STT, in the U.S. Virgin Islands), all travellers will need to provide a negative rapid antigen or PCR test (or antibody test results) within 48 hours of arriving in St Thomas.
Can I exit the BVI by boat?
Yes, you can however only via private water taxi. If you plan to depart the BVI via private water taxi to the USVI, a request must be submitted at least 72 hours prior to your departure. Plan ahead for an easy and stress-free departure.
