Don't know what charter company you were using, but for the last several charters in the BVI, the company's I have used all were recommending closing the head thru hull while at anchor.
And absolutely at the marina. All gravity thru hulls were shut upon boarding and shut upon returning to dock. Opened once in open water. Part of the boat check out process.

We have been practicing this for much longer. A good habit to literally avoid #2 above.

Our "jobs on board" include designated "head captain" for this task. Promotional opportunities from this position include "dingy captain" and "galley winch"
