If the intent is to go right back to the BVI I would use Redhook. It’s much cheaper and faster to drive them to redhook than go around to Yacht Haven Grande with the boat. In addition you will spare them the initial upwind slog as a trip intro. They will get a nice pleasant ride from Redhook. If you plan on overnighting on STT by all means stay at YHG. Not cheap but a great experience. I would not leave a boat on the wharf unattended after dark. G

I am pretty confident that American yacht harbor charges around $40 per person. They were not busy and did not charge us as we also purchased fuel.

Thanks, Warren. Its Steve. Won't really work for me. I'm taking a Moorings PowerCat to pick them up and drive them back. Time is a bit of a concern as I have 4 boats on charter with 18 family and friends beginning with infants and toddlers. With luggage, that's like 6 dinghy shuttle trips and i still need to clear in and get back to RoadTown before dark. Crown Bay was an option, but they want USD $300.00 min one night.
The wharf is simple and i have lots of fenders and lines. Just wondering if it is open to the public to tie off on without restrictions etc. That’s a lot of people and luggage, why don’t they take the ferry to West End or Roadtown? It would be a lot less of a hassle.
