When planning a BVI yacht charter, knowing you will need a valid passport to enter and exit the British Virgin Islands is important. In addition, citizens of some countries also require a visa for entry into the Caribbean islands. It is highly recommended to research whether or not your country requires this beforehand. While most vessels depart from St Thomas or Tortola in the US Virgin Islands, many other ports are available throughout the region, such as Monkey Point on Guana Island, Road Town on Tortola, and Spanish Town on Virgin Gorda.
