I am assuming that everyone and the boat has cleared into the USVI.
Then why not pick them up by dingy at the wharf.
It might be preferable to ask CYOA is you can use one of their moorings and dingy to their dock for pickup as the wall you refer to is pretty beaten up and the cleats are very corroded.

The marina in red hook charges an outrageous per person drop off fee. I wonder what yacht haven grand would charge?

I have dropped off/picked up passengers at Red Hook. I also use Kevin Campbell which makes all work even better. I will get fuel(top off) and drop off passengers... with significant fuel purchase and drop off not taking any additional time, I am still charged drop off sometimes (and sometimes not, since it is occupying dock only for fuel purchase).
If I am also picking up passengers, I will drop anchor and await call from Kevin that they are on the way from airport, at which time, I raise anchor and return to T-dock for pickup (And pay fee).
Would be nice to stay on T-dock or slip and if needed, resupply provisions from grocery store across the street.

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.

Drop off at American Yacht Harbor was about $30-35 for boat (perhaps $40).... Not per person, but for boat. I would call and verify prior to then.

That’s reasonable, but when we were there in July, the sign on the gas dock indicated per person,

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.
