Agree with Beerman.
Also in your favor is only 1 Newbie. The captain of your group, if not seasoned, does not need to have ALL newbies to instruct in their duties.
With your experience, I suspect the greatest apprehension will be docking. easier on a fuel dock/ T-dock.... which is only time necessary in most cases (Picking up balls and dropping anchor...
Returning to base, some operators will insist on putting their staff back on board to dock at marina, as often very tight. A radio call (or phone call) with request will usually be met with the base staff meeting you and boarding from a dingy.

Have fun!
