As another reason to buy local. I was flying from BVI to Miami for the boatshow. Packed some rum VERY carefully in a checked back. Security somewhere opened my bag at EIS or SJU along the way and did not repack with the same care. When I got to baggage claim, my bag was the one dripping and smelling like coconut rum. Had to buy new clothes for the weekend as mine had glass pieces, wouldn't have been an issue if just smelled like rum. Should have just bought the rum in MIA and said I brought it from the islands.

Not to mention lugging around the extra weight. You can order it ahead of time, and it will be sitting on the boat when you arrive.
I'd like to be a jelly fish, cause jelly fish don't pay rent.

I asked this question in another thread - Is there an “official” site or reliable info describing limits on bringing alcohol in via ferry? Specifically liters of wine (that is obviously not available on Tortola). Don’t mind paying a tariff if not ridiculous...

I agree with everyone else...liquor is much cheaper in the BVI's...but wine is not. It is harder to find a good wine and it is usually much more expensive. Absolutely spot on.
