I just heard from a friend who is in the BVI for a couple of months on his own boat, and he has heard of a "new" departure fee. He isn't sure about the details, but said it might be a function of boat size and/or number of people on board. It sounds as though it could get expensive in a hurry if you have a larger boat with a sizable crew.

Has anyone heard of this, and if it is true, do you know the details? The last I knew, there was a $10 or $20/person departure fee, but that was all...
