Epstein Island Fallout: The new owner of Little St. James in the USVI, Stephen Deckoff, is facing fresh public scrutiny as trespassers and “voyeurs” keep showing up—reports include people allegedly being hog-tied and bound during incidents tied to police calls, while Deckoff’s camp says it will keep making lawful citizen arrests. Territorial Trade Disruption: In Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands Port Authority is responding to concerns after a vessel operated by Water Spirit Freight Services was restricted from docking in San Juan, raising worries for cargo routes relied on by USVI residents. Energy Cost Pressure: Fuel and shipping pressures in the USVI are intensifying as the US-Iran standoff drags on after Trump rejected Iran’s peace proposal, keeping Strait of Hormuz risks front and center. Tourism Signals: Curaçao is being highlighted as a steadier, more family-friendly Caribbean tourism bet, with lower seasonality than peers—while the USVI remains in the mix as a comparable family-travel destination.
