We had a charter with Virgin Island sailing out of St Thomas booked for Oct 25th. We actually canceled it within our 45 day window to incur a 200 or 300 fee. We were asked, and did keep our deposit (almost 4k) on file with them to use any time in 2018. I couldn't imagine putting that burden on these guys at these times when I know for sure I'm coming back. BVI and the charter companies really do need our support. Just my 2 cents.
