For some of us who have limited time off, every day of the vacation is precious. So, having to "waste" a day on the dock hurts. Especially when the original contract was for noon start and they tell you the boat isn't being chartered for several days before you board!
If both parties signed the contract, then you have a contract that should be honored. An unsigned collection of words on paper is at best an offer. Did you have a contract? Or just some words on paper that never got executed(signed) by ALL parties? There is plenty to do for families on Tortola and St. Thomas. On day one we usually send one of the adults off with the kids to a pool or other attraction with plans to leave late in the afternoon. That is a much more vacation like approach for most families.
