If you stop in Red Hook, you can go across the street to Moe's. If you are in Compass Point, the Food Center is close.

Its worth considering a stop in Fajardo to provision. Especially if you do not have a water maker. Doing Culebra, PR, Vieques, St. Croix lets you hit the small and big. Ralph's Wholesale Supermarket is impressive. There is also a Walmart, West Marine and a lot of other stores. El Yunque rainforest i a great day trip and the many kiosks at Luqillo have great food and beach access. https://dinghylife.wordpress.com/2015/11/30/puerto-rico-2-nights-october-23-24-2015/We stayed at Puerto Del Rey marina. Its worth setting up your account ahead of time. You will need copies of your insurance policy and they will keep the copies for your file. Cheers, RickG

Bob Since all the Tortolans come over to shop at Cost-U-Less, I'd say it probably is worth it...

We will be sailing for 4 weeks, Spanish Virgins, St Croix, St John and then back to BVI. The boat is in a partnership, hence he extended time !! Getting proviisions delivered to the boat in BVI would be the easiest but probably more expensive than St Thomas..........any idea what the price differential is ?? As you say it may not be worth the effort.
Thanks
Bob Given the four week time line. I would reserve a rental car for the day at the Sea Plane terminal in the main harbor of St Thomas from Avis. Make sure you specify the Sea Plane terminal. Sail to St Thomas directly anchor in the main harbor or come to Frenchtown Marina. Clear in customs, pick up your car do your provisioning take a quick tour of de Island by car while your out and about. Turn the car back in the next morning and head to Culebra. Or with that much time to burn you could spend a night at any of the West End anchorages, Honeymoon on Water Island, Linberg or Brewers. Jay

On this topic, I'm flying in next Sunday 19 February to pick up a boat to deliver back to the Chesapeake Bay. I'm provisioning for a crew of five (so lucky) for eight days. I have a rental car. My plan is to shop Cost-U-Less on Monday and fill in at Pueblo. The boat is anchored out in the harbor between Grande and the CG station.
Comments and advice are welcome.

Not to re-direct this thread, but does anyone have any experience with Sunrise Provisions to share?
