If you start Tuesday or Wednesday, you will be behind the Saturday/Sunday group and find better mooring availability and less stress. Yes, starting 2-3 days off set from majority changes the landscape as far as how crowded anchorages are. Also, as Donald pointed out, IF charter begins as a sleep aboard on Saturday and ends on Saturday, then tis is actually a 6 day charter plus a sleepabord (or 6.5 days). Some advertise this as a "Week" charter, but it is not quite a week. Just be aware when comparing "apples to apples"

I have always assumed that Sunday is the most common day to start a bareboat charter from the BVI or USVI. Is that correct?
We always let the best flight booking drive our charter dates. Never seen a charter company that restricts Mid week starts .

I'm using CYOA in November and doing a sleep aboard Saturday and starting the charter on Sunday
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - beer in hand - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"
