The limited choices of yachts in ST has been a problem for us but I'm keeping an eye on expanding charter fleets there. No question, this option is looking more and more appealing.

Still, for reasons that are not always clear (and it varies), I can fly in to SJU from ATL and grab a Cape Air flight to EIS for about $100 more pp than it costs to fly into STT cab to the CA, then Ferry to RT or WE, then cab to charter base. It is also much less of a hassle. So, for now, Tortola is our go to spot.

The changes in how water taxis b/t ST and Tortola are being handled makes this option less desirable than I think it was before the changes. It was worth the extra cost to get dropped off right at your charter base. So, you're sort of getting diverted to the public ferries .... known to be somewhat unreliable.
