Contact <nick@surfbvi.com> And make a reservation for a slip. Cost is the same whether mono or cat. Nick has talked about charging more for a cat due to the beam, but I don't think they have done that.

Nick's crew at leverick is fantastic! They helped me greatly on my first attempt to back in a 40 foot cat Into the slip. Tito: "Cap, lock the wheel, Just use the throttles!" I've learned lots since,but always recall how nice they were to a first time credit card captain! Last trip, Nick came looking for us on the slip just to say bye as we had missed him the last couple of trips. Great guy. (Have him arrange a car or safari truck for the day to explore VG)

We've docked since without problems. Two years ago, one of my crew checked us in while I tidied up. I Neglected to tell him to ask for the TTOL discount rate. So I had to go back and get an adjustment which was certainly forthcoming. Leroy: "No problem, Mon!"

We've been on power and no power on Leverick slips. But never on genny. With good power on the dock, agree it would be bad form to run the gen while in a slip.

I will share that we ran the gen in Greece this past Sept while at dock/quay. (Med moor was lots of fun! ) And without access to any shore power, it appeared standard practice to run the gen. In Hydra, we had two boats on our bow, and tight as sardines on the beam. In one port, the shore power on the quay was unreliable, and we disconnected in the middle of the night and kicked on the gen.

I agree that with your crew of some first timers, you do want to make them feel comfortable. Especially if you're on a large cat and spending $10,000 for a week. What's a few bucks for shore power? Same thought about slip versus mooring ball. When just two or four of us we might stay on a ball. But if there are six or eight, it is far easier to use shore facilities when at the slip.
