In the BVI, the yacht has to be registered for commercial fishing - please check with us for specifics. If the yacht is registered, a fishing license is required for anyone 18 years or older who will be fishing during your charter. You can apply for a license at the Government Office on Tortola, Monday - Friday 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM. However, for convenience we recommend working with either Last Stop Sports or Island Surf and Sail to apply for your license prior to your charter, and to rent your fishing gear. A fishing license is not required in the USVI. Please check with our Bareboat Experts for requirements in all other locations.
