While doing some research this morning, I noticed an interesting change. What previously were very specific requirements listed on the websites of ferry operators noting that the compelling reasons did still apply to non-resident travelers have been completely removed. Instead, both operators are simply stating that compelling reasons are no longer required or make no mention of it at all. They no longer specify that non-residents must provide accepted proof of a compelling reason for travel.
Can one assume that the port authority / immigration in Gustavia are simply not enforcing this rule for those arriving by boat? it seems odd that the mention of non-residents requiring a compelling reason for travel to St. Barts or St. Martin has been quietly removed.
