You should also check out SailCaribe out of Fajardo, PR. We've chartered through them a few times and we were allowed to sail pretty much anywhere between mainland PR and the BVIs. Also nice that you get the tough part out of the way first and the return sail is downwind. And you fly into San Juan which tends to be easier than EIS or STT, not to mention provisioning options are very abundant in PR. If you don't go to the BVIs you don't really have C&I to deal with except for a quick check-in when you return back to PR/SVIs from the USVIs. If you do want to make it to the BVIs and back (or vice-versa) I would give yourselves at least ten nights and ideally two weeks, otherwise you are basically just overnighting at a lot of places.

edit> I should add that it's been several years since I've chartered with them and perhaps their rules have changed. I didn't see anything about the BVIs and actually not even the USVIs on their site. Maybe they don't allow it anymore with the BVIs adding so many restrictions. And they aren't showing any boats in their charter fleet. Still may be worth a call or email though.
