I have plane tickets to STT purchased but no boat yet reserved for a trip in March. One reason I didn't book the boat so far is that the companies I have talked to, CYOA primarily, said they only will take a non-refundable deposit. With so much up in the air (this was 2-3 months ago) I decided to wait. But I did see someone on here post to just use a credit card for the deposit. Not sure how that helps if it is a non-refundable depoisit. Isn't the charge taken at the time of the deposit? Can the credit card company force it to be refundable?

Anyone have advice? Any of the boat brokers on here offering guaranteed refunds in the specific case that BVI either closes its borders again or requires a quarantine?
