The quarantine is not really 4 days. It is 5 days, at best. People coming in are not released from quarantine until their day 4 results are reported to them and they can have their tracking device removed. This is not on day 4. It is on day 5 (at best).
As is, this means that a 7-day charter is really not practical. The boat must report back to Nanny Cay on day 4 for testing, and must again return for the tracking device to be removed. So, a charter boat is essentially tethered to Tortola for 5 days.
With luck, day 6 is free, and return the boat on day 7. If test results time goes to 48 hours, the entire charter is spent in quarantine.
Whoop de friggin do You are not required to have the device removed. For a short trip, you can just do it on departure. I agree, the protocols are not practical for a 7 day trip. For our guests with limited vacation, we are encouraging them to fly down and take advantage of the 4 free nights we are offering and work remotely during their quarantine. After that, they are released and can start their vacation fun.
