Sailing to the US Virgin Islands with a Professional Skipper on Board

Notification of Arrival in to USA Ports

Effective from October 4th 2005, the USA Department for Homeland Security has introduced a regulation with a mandatory requirement that vessels with paid crew onboard give a 24 hour electronic notice before arriving or leaving USA ports. This includes the US Virgin Islands, Spanish Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. This change in policy applies to all of our charters that have paid crew (skipper, cook, hostess) with them.
Filing the electronic arrival and departure details can be done through the National Vessel Movement Centre (NVMC) website :
