Covid-19 Testing for US Entry

[John Bowers]

Our captain and crew are permanent US citizens and fully vaccinated. We will be traveling from The Bahamas to Norfolk, VA. Is Covid-19 retesting required to return to the US? I do not see any mention of this on the CBP website, and the CDC website only addresses arrival by air travel, land, and cruise.

John - we returned to the US from the Bahamas last week. A Covid test is not required if entering the country via a private boat.

Greetings and welcome aboard the CF, John.

We checked in to NY State from Canada on May 20th via roam app.
There was no mention of covid or vaccination status in the app and no mention of them in our video interview.

You fit into the “cruise” category.
