Question: Can I sail from the virgin islands to saint maarten without a passport?

Question Description:
saling on a private boat, not a charter. Travel.state.gov says I can, (for another year under the new law), but the saint maarten site says I need a passport. No time to get a passport, sail in a week! I have my bc with seal, and a license.I know I SHOULD have a passport, but I don't, so please help!!

Answer#1: I'd get a passport. There are places you can go and get them in 72 hours. Costs a lot though. Hope this works out for you.


Answer#2: you MIGHT be able to re-enter the US w/o a passport from SXM but I'd be leary of telling you yes.call Customs in St Thomas at 340-774-6755IF SXMs GOVERNMENT SAYS YOU NEED A PASSPORT, THEN YOU NEED A PASSPORT..SORRYIt's not like th eold days when you could sail around with a ten year expiered Massachusetts driver's liscense..


Answer#3: Yes you can for one more year and you are correct it does say so on travel.state.gov.
