My first and only (but not the last!) bareboat trip was to the BVI's. It was dead easy. Snorkelling was good at the Indians, so so at Norman and great at the Baths. Unfortunately we ran out of time and didn't get to Monkey Point. I found the restaurants to be a bit pricey, with our cheapest meal fish and chips on the Willie T at around $25 US each - fun, fun place but maybe not where you'd want to take younguns unless you want them to experience a little bit of hedonism - if you go early you'll miss most of that. Stock up on dinner provisions (meat) on Tortola, I didn't see much else available on any of our other stops. We went with TMM, nice boat with a problem or 2 but that seems like the norm with boats. Have a great trip!
