We've never used a provisioning package from the charter company, so I can't comment on that directly. One thing you might do -- see if they spell out exactly what is contained in the package, and whether that appeals to you.

We have always had provisions delivered from either Bobby's or Riteway. Both have worked well. I found the online ordering procedure from Bobby's a little easier to deal with.

The upside to this method is obvious -- you get to pick what you want. What are the downsides? Sometimes they'll substitute items if they don't have exactly what you ordered. They can make mistakes and leave things out, necessitating a second delivery. You typically have to arrange a delivery time and wait for them to arrive; if they're not on time, you may be stuck waiting while you're anxious to go to dinner or whatever. None of these issues have been a serious problem for us, and I expect to go the same route on future trips.
