Let me echo the comments above. We have chartered in the BVI's 6 times (including twice with 4 young grandkids), Grenadines 3 times, St Maarten 1 time, etc. Our last trip, in April with two other 70 year old couples, was to the SVI (STT to Culebra / Culebrita to Vieques to St Croix / Buck Island to STT). Loved the trip, lots of great long 5-6 hour sails, some heavy seas. Many more meals on the boat, because of fewer shore dining options. IMO, the SVI is a trip for adults and older kids (teens and up) who want to focus on sailing and more remote (less populated) anchorages. I would not take my grandkids, now 10 through 16 years of age, to the SVI.
