TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums British Virgin Islands Customs at Red Hook

Customs is now available by appointment at Red Hook. Email ayhcustoms@igymarinas.com for an appointment.

Good to know. Thank you.

Thanks for the info. Just sent them an email asking appointment info. We'll be down there on April 18th. We had dropped the St.John plans just due to
not wanting to sail over to CA.

The post I saw said C/I at Red Hook will cost US $50, plus fees for each person. Clearance is free in Charlotte Amalie

Well, don't know if I can do that. I'll post if they get back with me.
Thanks

Hi all, below is the email I received back in reference to customs at Red Hook. Correct me if I'm reading this wrong, but it sounds to me the $50 charge is for the use of the marina. Not sure if
mooring balls would be available outside the marina then dingy in.
I plan on doing more digging around on this, we'll be down there the middle of the month.

Thanks Phil
