Wes:

I'm definitely not going to go with 2 boats so that's now out of the question - just too difficult to manage, juggle, etc. in our circumstances (3 families/6 adults + 6 kids) - just provisioning 2 separate boats would be a nightmare as we'd like to eat as group, even if in different "sittings" (no charter boat grill is going to be able to handle 12 meals at once...). The only question is can we make it happen - with the right boat - on a single boat. Again, it has its pros/cons but in our situation its the right choice, if we can reasonably manage it. Your and other comments about restaurants is all perfectly on target - the BVIs is one place where that could be very challenging if we don't plan that part correctly...

Thanks for all the comments,

Kevin
