We have also chartered a number of times in the bvi. In fact,we were to have been setting out on a charter in a few days. However, Irma changed our plans. We booked a charter with dream yacht in Grenada. Have done a LOT of reading and studying destinations, conditions etc. this is our first grenada trip. Pretty excited. Will leave Jan 28 for 9 days. If you have ample experience, you should be ok with some serious preparation.
